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 side-scrolling survival horror game that combines tense zombie combat with pixelated adult content and oddly cute NPCs.

What players say

Players praise the haunting atmosphere and unique enemy designs, but many note the game is brutally hard, even on easy, with janky combat and clunky controls. They also highlight hidden secrets and a good soundtrack, though backtracking can feel tedious.
