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 methodical stealth puzzle where you patiently wait for the right moment to avoid or neutralise enemies.

What players say

Players call DanCop a 2.5D stealth puzzle that requires timing and patience rather than full freedom. It is compared to older Metal Gear and Die Hard, and while some find the spotlight-based movement restrictive, others praise the level design and optional challenges like beating the clock.
