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 straightforward, arcade-style action game with quick combat and respawning checkpoints that keep the momentum going.

What players say

Players are split on Evan Quest 2. Some say the price makes it worth a laugh for a short time, while others find the controls terrible, the combat shallow, and the game lacking story or depth. A few note it runs well on Steam Deck but warms up a console.
