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, fast-paced survival shooter where you fight through hordes of zombies with arcade-style action and roguelite-driven strategic choices.

What players say

Players describe a free-to-play roguelite shooter where you fight through floors of zombies to reach an elevator, but many find it tedious rather than fun. Complaints center on permadeath wiping all upgrades, a weapon system that forces you to exhaust one gun before switching, and endless enemy spawns that feel unfair. Some enjoy the fast-paced challenge and good-for-a-free-game value.
