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 third-person action RPG with deliberate combat and exploration across a dark fantasy world, blending tactical depth with cinematic flair.

What players say

Players say this is shorter than the first game and best enjoyed by those who played it. The combat is clunky and the camera is bad, but the story and lore are strong. There is a notorious difficulty spike near the end, even on easy. The game shows ambition by drawing from DMC and Kingdom Hearts but does not fully succeed.
