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.

About

Covert Critter is a top-down sneaking game and retro throwback to stealth titles of the mid to late 90's. As elite agent Koss, your goal is to navigate through each of the 10 unique stages, all while remaining silent and out of the enemy's sight. The terrorist group known as the Red Hawks are vigilant creatures, armed to the beak, and around every corner of the facility.
