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, meticulously-paced tactical puzzle where each move demands careful planning and stealth.

What players say

Players have mixed feelings about returning to this 1998 classic. Many praise its tactical stealth and the satisfaction of clearing a base undetected, but consistently warn that the controls and interface feel rusty and unintuitive by modern standards. The difficulty is high and often requires constant saving, with some finding later missions frustratingly obscure.
