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, tense strategy game where you meticulously build and manage a base to survive relentless zombie hordes on Mars.

What players say
Players are split on MarZ. Many praise its polished presentation and the twist of managing soldiers who man towers, but a vocal group says the strategy is an illusion: you must follow a single sequence of actions to win, leaving no room for personal tactics. Critics also call the campaign too short and the game abandoned by its developers soon after release.
