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.

What players say

Players praise it as a rare firefighter simulator that covers daily station life, from cleaning the truck to night shifts with night vision. Many note bugs can break missions and that achievements only work on the x86 version. Players disagree on whether the time limits and unrealistic call assignments hurt the experience.
