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.

About

Eyra the Crow Maiden is a new and original 8-bit video game for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES). Inspired by the sword and sorcery genre, the world of Eyra takes inspiration from stories of characters like Conan the Barbarian, Red Sonja and Tarzan. The game's gameplay and mechanics are based on titles such as Rastan Saga, Cadash, Castlevania, Blades of Vengeance and Jill of the Jungle. A 16-bit version port of the game to Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis has also been announced as part of a stretch goal for the NES games Kickstarter campaign.
