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 methodical and tense simulator that puts you in the boots of a firefighter tackling realistic and high-stakes emergencies.

What players say

Players report the game is buggy, often getting stuck on a ladder truck that cannot move, and the tutorial either overexplains or explains nothing. Some find it fun for a few hours, while others call it janky, poorly optimized, and inferior to earlier entries in the series.
