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 methodical, old-school RPG where deliberate turn-based combat and freeform exploration create a contemplative, strategic feel.

What players say
Players say Eschalon Book II improves on the first in most ways with more content and polish, but they are split on the difficulty. Some find the RNG frustrating and enemies unbalanced, while others enjoy the challenge. The main criticism is an abrupt cliffhanger ending that does not resolve the story. A locked 1024x768 resolution is noted.
