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 dark, dramatic action game with tactical and punishing combat set in a dream world tied to a grim real-world backstory.

What players say

Players agree Entity has a strong atmosphere and good visual potential, but say the 3-4 hour campaign is let down by a weak story, clunky controls, a grating AI companion, and missing basic settings like rebinding keys. Many call it promising but unfinished, recommending it only on sale.
