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 grounded, slow-burn crime drama that mixes tense gunfights with deliberate driving and stealth sequences in a lived-in open world.

About

Mafia III is an open-world action-adventure game played from a third-person perspective and the third entry in the Mafia series. Players control Lincoln Clay across a large recreation of the fictional city of New Bordeaux, modeled on New Orleans, tackling missions with a mix of gunplay, melee combat, stealth, and a cover system. Objectives can be approached in different ways, and players seize territory from rival criminal outfits and hand districts to their lieutenants. Period cars can be driven across the city, and the setting and licensed soundtrack draw heavily on the late 1960s American South.
