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.

What players say

Players describe Rescue Team as a basic time-management clicker with no story or achievements. Some find it mindlessly repetitive while others enjoy the simple challenge, and it can get genuinely hard despite being a casual mobile port. Reviews agree it has no ads or microtransactions, just 60 levels of pure gameplay.
