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 fast-paced tactical RPG where you command undead spirits across a corrupted dreamscape, blending Lovecraftian horror with dark satire.

What players say
Players love the eerie atmosphere, music, voice acting and art, but note the early access game is far from complete. Gameplay is simple and swarm-based, and development appears to have stalled with no updates for over a year.
