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 police and rescue units in real-time, calmly but urgently coordinating vehicles and teams to save lives during disasters and emergencies.

What players say

Players overwhelmingly say the mods make the game, with one calling the base game boring without them. Fans call it the best in the Emergency series and note mods are extremely easy to install, though a single player reports random crashes.
