The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

What players say

Players say Death of a Wish is a strong follow-up to Lucah: Born of a Dream, keeping its distinctive art style and fast combat while removing the stamina bar. Some find the story confusing early on and the combat can feel button-mashy, but the customization and boss fights are praised. A gamepad bug affecting only two buttons is reported.
