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.

About

Wizard Fire is a classic cooperative multiplayer action RPG. It is set in the 4th century A.D., in the Empire of Aul, where the evil wizard Zenon plans to sacrifice one hundred and one innocent people to open the Dragon Shrine. With its power, Zenon plans to raise an army of the undead to conquer the land. The players can choose among 5 characters: the Knight, the Wizard, the Bard, the Dwarf and the Elf. Each character brings a unique set of skills, weapons and talents to the battlefield as you cut down hordes of skeletons, ghouls, kobolds and more.
