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 strategic, turn-based indie game with a dark fantasy and zombie theme, where you command squads against infernal beasts.

What players say

Players describe it as a small-scale XCOM clone with some roguelike elements. The tiny file size and no zoom feature draw both praise and criticism, but most agree the game needs more polish to compete with similar titles.
