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 and methodical stealth experience where careful planning and precise execution are rewarded, with a heavy atmosphere of espionage and risk.

What players say

Players call Chaos Theory the peak of Splinter Cell and one of the best stealth games ever, praising its methodical gameplay, tension, and Amon Tobin's soundtrack. But the PC port has serious issues, with reviews reporting crashes, broken thermal vision, and resolution problems that require mods to fix.
