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 tense, chaotic sandbox where every heist is a physics playground of creative destruction and frantic improvisation.

What players say

Players love the freedom of destruction and mod support, but many find the campaign's stealth focus at odds with the sandbox. Opinions split on value: some call it great with mods, others say updates stalled and DLC is overpriced. Performance is praised on low-end hardware yet chokes on large explosions. Multiplayer is a draw, though expansions lack co-op.
