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, methodical puzzle of planning and executing SWAT raids where a single misstep can undo a perfect run.

What players say

Players praise the tactical planning and adrenaline of executing a perfect breach, but note the lack of an undo button and difficulty planning on multi-floor levels. Some find it boring after a few hours or say the controls feel dated compared to the sequel, while workshop content extends replayability.
