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, tense tactical stealth experience set in a historical alternate WWII scenario, where careful planning and environment awareness are key.

What players say

Players compare it to Commandos games and appreciate the nostalgic feel, but many report persistent bugs where mechanics sometimes work, enemies sometimes see you, or bodies fly into the sky. The eight missions are long and huge, though there is no connecting story. Players are split: some find it unplayable, others say the bugs are manageable.
