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 fast-paced, violent strategy game where players coordinate stick-figure heists with a focus on gory action.

What players say

Players enjoy pulling off heists and shooting cops, but many point to input delay and clipping issues that frustrate combat. A tough SWAT team and a few glitches divide opinions, with some comparing it to Sneak Thief.
