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 survival crafting game set in a zombie-infested open world where you scavenge, build defenses, and fight alongside followers against hordes of undead.

What players say

Players split on Night of the Dead. Many say it feels like an unfinished early-access game with sluggish combat, scarce resources, and useless AI companions. Network code for player-hosted servers remains broken. Some enjoy the zombie survival loop, especially in co-op, but a strong majority calls it a disappointment that the developers abandoned after version 1.0.
