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 high-pressure race against the clock where every decision and coordination with teammates can mean the difference between life and disaster.

What players say

Players split on this free-to-play entry in the Emergency series: some find it fun and addictive in solo or co-op, while others say the monetization (card upgrades, low rewards) makes it pay-to-win, and the removal of features like freeplay and time speed from Emergency 4 is a step back.
