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.

How it feels

A breakneck, acrobatic brawler where every encounter is a chance to chain flashy, over-the-top combos against demonic hordes, dripping with gothic camp and a punishing learning curve.

What players say

Players praise the combat and Nero's introduction, but overwhelmingly warn that the PC port is broken on modern systems, requiring community patches just to start. Many call the game unfinished, with a rushed second half that recycles bosses as Dante. Long-time fans are split on whether the gameplay holds up.
