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, resource-driven slog of building automated production lines under the constant pressure of a zombie apocalypse.

What players say

Players say Apocalypse Factory shows promise in Early Access, with a responsive developer and chill survival-factory gameplay where zombies are light on the scares. The tutorial is weak and the early manual phase can be a grind, with some finding the conveyor belts fiddly.
