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 fast-paced, chaotic action-RPG where you mow down supernatural enemies with relentless combat through a dark, war-torn underworld.

What players say

Players describe Johnny Graves as a top-down horror shooter with a Diablo-like feel, set to a story about Satan's son. Early Access reviews from 2016-2017 warn the game is short and rough, though later updates added chapters and checkpoints. Players find it challenging and appreciate the atmosphere and art style, but note you can't move while shooting and may get stuck on geometry.
