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.

What players say

Players are split on Guardian's Oath. Some enjoy the grind and freedom to choose any weapon, while others find the combat clunky and the graphics dated. Several mention that the inability to rebind keys and the repetitive monster grinding are major drawbacks.
