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 frantic, retro-inspired first-person shooter with fast movement, varied magical abilities, and punishing difficulty across dark fantasy environments.

What players say

Players say the combat is mediocre and ammo is always scarce, and the lack of checkpoints forces careful play. The campaign is more linear than the first game, which some see as a shift from exploration toward nonstop arena fights. Reviews split on the second character: her powers are flashier but less fun to use.
