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, high-stakes tactical simulation where every split-second decision matters and methodical planning is essential for success.

What players say

Players enjoy the tactical swat action and find it fun in singleplayer and coop, though note the campaign is short. The need to spam the yell command frustrates some, and challenge modes can be tough solo. It draws comparisons to Hotline Miami.
