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

You carefully plan and execute elaborate heists with a team of thieves, pausing time to coordinate moves and avoid detection.

What players say

Players appreciate the 1970s heist theme and fun planning stages, but many say the game gets repetitive and tedious in later missions. Some dislike the timed objectives and find the voice acting cheesy, while others call it an underrated gem in the tactical stealth genre.
