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 whimsical yet sometimes dark open-world journey through a magical school, blending spellcasting, exploration, and moral choices at a moderate pace.

What players say

Players praise the faithful recreation of Hogwarts and the surrounding world, and find the combat fun and fluid. But many say the open world feels empty, side quests are repetitive, and player choices have no real impact on the story. PC players warn of stuttering and crashes, especially in the castle and Hogsmeade.
