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, tension-filled stealth game where every move must be carefully planned to avoid detection.

What players say

Players say it is a big step forward from Codename 47 with more open levels, a good soundtrack and a memorable set of missions in the Petronas Towers. But the disguise system feels broken and enemies often know your location instantly, making careful stealth frustrating while run and gun works surprisingly well. Many need a third-party fix to get the game running on modern PCs.
