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, strategic mafia hit-man sim where careful planning and lethal action vie with trust and betrayal.

What players say

Players say Cosa Nostra is a broken, abandoned shovelware game that is more fun to watch than play. The AI is famously bad, with enemies walking through walls and shooting with impossible accuracy, and later missions spike in difficulty.
