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

Playing as a fugitive soldier in a dark futuristic medieval world, you navigate hostile cities and void lands with techno-mystical blades in deliberate, bloody combat.

What players say

Players praise the dark sci-fi atmosphere, multiple endings, and nostalgic feel, but split on technical issues. Crashes on opening cutscenes and poor frame rates are common complaints, though some fix these with DgVoodoo2. The controls feel dated, especially the camera panning.
