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 retro, neon-drenched survival horror FPS where fights feel tense and punishing because you must land headshots without fixed aiming, blending gory scares with dark comedy inspired by Italian zombie films.

What players say

Players call this a cheesy, janky low-poly horror game that perfectly captures Italian zombie movies from the 70s and 80s. The humor and voice acting are intentionally bad, and the experience runs well even on old hardware. Some say it is too long for what it offers, but most love the b-movie atmosphere.
