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 lead a squad of misfits through tense, strategic WWII missions where careful planning and stealth feel more important than fast action.

What players say

Players say the Steam version at v1.04 often fails to launch or run on modern systems, while some find it works fine. The gameplay is tough even on medium difficulty, with enemies shooting from the fog and mono audio that makes it hard to pinpoint them. Friendly AI gets stuck on fences, but the core tactical squad experience is still appreciated by fans of early 2000s shooters.
