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.

What players say

Players say it is a tough, puzzle-like strategy game where you control the zombie outbreak rather than fight it. The retro PS1 visuals charm some, but others find the small maps and short length limiting. It requires careful, almost puzzle-like thinking rather than mindless horde action.
