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

You pilot a mech in a fast-paced arcade shoot-'em-up, collecting upgrades to snowball your firepower against alien hordes.

What players say

Players say Project Lazarus is a slow-paced Survivors-like that was abandoned by its developer. While the mech variety and graphics are praised, the game is criticized for lack of content, repetitive enemies, and grindy progression. Controls are clearly designed for a controller, which frustrates some.
