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, choice-driven political simulation where every decision carries weight and the threat of failure looms.

What players say
Players compare it to Crisis in the Kremlin but find it less deep and more scripted, with events pushing players along a predetermined path. The game is short, the UI is poor, and late-game crashes are common, though the political setting on Ukraine and multiple endings are praised.
