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 and desperate fight for survival on a zombie-infested island, where every resource is scarce and each night brings a relentless horde to your fortified base.

What players say

Players are split. Some enjoy the crafting and base defense despite a very short campaign, but others warn of broken controls, scarce fiber, and an unfinished feel that suggests an asset flip.
