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

Feels like a high-octane buddy-cop action movie with short, chaotic, and replayable procedural shootouts.

What players say

Players describe RICO as a fun arcade breach-and-clear roguelike that shines in co-op, but after the servers shut down it is effectively unplayable solo because some missions are designed for two players. The game has no story or updates, and feels repetitive after a few runs.
