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 frantic, physics-driven scramble to nail together barricades while blasting endless zombie waves with old-school, no-frills guns.

What players say

Players describe it as a single-player tower-defense take on Call of Duty Zombies and Garry's Mod's Zombie Survival, where you defend a vending machine by nailing down props. It has no music, no story and players are split on the replayability.
