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

Navigating tight corridors with tense stealth and cinematic drama, shifting between calculated infiltration and sudden action.

What players say

Players praise the prophetic story and improved stealth over MGS1, but are split on the controls, which feel clunky and dated. Some report technical problems with the port, including crashes and missing cutscenes.
