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 casual strategic game about orchestrating zombie evacuation with explosive tools and moddable sandbox options.

What players say

Players love the unique blend of tower defense and civilian evacuation, comparing it to Lemmings. The game is charming and replayable with mod support, though its unpredictable tools and snowballing difficulty divide players. Some report it's broken on Windows 11.
