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 tense, tactical third-person shooter where you lead a small squad through a gritty, atmospheric alternate-history New York, balancing firefights and strategic commands.

What players say

Players call it a nostalgic classic with a unique squad-building mechanic that makes the game strategic and fun. Long-time fans want a sequel or remaster, though some note the graphics and PC port are dated.
