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 orchestrate emergency dispatch from a top-down map, balancing escalating crises and limited resources with calm, methodical decision-making.

What players say

Players appreciate the real-world maps and find 112 Operator a good upgrade over 911 Operator, but many are frustrated by bugs in free mode, a region-lock issue requiring Windows localization changes, and non-functional DLC scenarios. Some also find the gameplay repetitive over time.
