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 command a busy fleet of emergency services under time pressure in a gritty 2D retro sim that feels methodical and intense.

What players say

Players praise the 25 missions and strategic depth, but warn about dated controls, terrible pathfinding, missing NPC dialogue, and a bug that deletes save files on restart. It runs on Windows 10 but is best for series veterans.
