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.

A tense struggle to survive in a desolate 2D open world against zombies, hunger, and harsh weather.

What players say

Players are split on SURV. Many praise its potential as a top-down survival game from a single developer, but nearly as many report it was abandoned for long stretches after release, then later received updates. Frequent complaints include bugs, invisible walls, a confusing UI, and camera control issues, though some find the short playtime enjoyable.
