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.

About

Grab your guitar and get your drums! The planet is under attack, and the only chance we have is through the power of rock! Rock of the Dead lets you use your guitar and drum controllers to annihilate aliens, squash mutated insects and smash up the undead zombie hordes. Grab a buddy and play through the story-based campaign in two-player competitive co-op with guitars, drums or both! Rock out to a soundtrack featuring metalized versions of Bach, Brahms and other classical pieces as well as Rob Zombie and White Zombie hard-hitting tracks. With a cast of characters voiced by Neil Patrick Harris, Felicia Day and Rob Zombie, huge boss battles and dozens of unlockables and upgradeable special attacks, the fate of the planet is in your hands!
