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 navigate a cartoonish but tense space station, methodically shooting zombies while following linear task prompts to restart the facility.

What players say

Players agree the game is very short, with only about half an hour of content, and many report performance problems. There is no map, which makes navigation confusing, and a few note that a starting weapon breaks the difficulty.
