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 tense and unforgiving top-down tactical shooter that demands split-second decisions and careful restraint.

What players say

A tactical cop game that plays like a mix of Hotline Miami and SWAT. Players praise the loadout variety and map design but warn of a punishing early difficulty curve, aimbot enemies, and a partner AI that often sabotages you. The campaign is short and best enjoyed in co-op, though the penalty for lethal force when suspects are armed feels unfair to many.
