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 deliberate, turn-by-turn firefight simulation where every decision feels consequential in a gritty, realistic crime setting.

What players say

Players are split: some call it a boring, barebones turn-based shooter, while others appreciate its cheap price and simple police simulation. The story about finding your brother is never resolved, and the few maps get reused frequently. Most finish it in 3-6 hours.
