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 lead a tactical counter-terrorism team through tense, globe-trotting missions with a focus on coordinated action and command decisions.

What players say

Players say the Steam copy is broken and requires a cracked executable to run. The campaign is short, around two hours, and the AI is split: teammates are useless while enemies have perfect aim. It plays like a stripped-down Ghost Recon with a focus on close-quarters combat.
