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

You methodically plan and execute each room entry with professional precision, relying on squad coordination and careful tactics under tense, high-risk conditions.

What players say

Players see this as a spiritual successor to SWAT 4, praising the map design and helmet cam, but performance is poor (45 FPS or less), AI is slow and buggy, suspects are bullet sponges, and the game feels barebones with very limited weapons and customization. Reviews are split: some see potential for a tactical shooter, others call it an unoptimized Ready or Not clone.
