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 tense, fast-paced action RPG focused on precise swordplay and tactical stamina management against dark fantasy bosses.

What players say

Players describe Animus as a budget-friendly Dark Souls-lite with satisfying weapon weight, particularly the greatsword. It is a mobile port with short missions and janky controls, including input delay and combo issues. The game is grindy and repetitive, especially for completionists, and controller support can be problematic.
