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, methodical stealth game where you creep through dimly lit, intricate levels, outsmarting guards and feeling like a master thief.

What players say

Players consistently praise the level design and stealth gameplay, calling it one of the best in the genre. A few note the final missions are a letdown compared to the strong start, but most consider the game great overall.
