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 lighthearted co-op survival romp where daytime scavenging gives way to frantic nighttime base defense against zombie hordes.

What players say

Players split on co-op, some play it fine with friends while others hit desync where zombies and teammates are invisible. The campaign is short, roughly three bosses, and solo players call it repetitive. Translation is unfinished with Korean UI text showing in several languages, and ranged enemies are widely called out as frustrating. Crafting and item variety are thin, with few unique drops.
