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-strategy game where you carefully navigate hushed, atmospheric WWII environments.

What players say

Players say it recreates the feel of the early Commandos games but falls short of Commandos 2 and 3, especially in level depth and removed features like looting. Performance is a major problem for some, with frequent crashes and low FPS even on strong hardware, though patches have helped. Co-op is broken by desyncs, and enemy AI feels weak.
