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 control a small group of survivors, moving quickly and carefully through procedurally generated buildings, always watching each other's backs to avoid leaving anyone behind.

What players say

Players are split on this zombie RTS. Some enjoy the tactical survival loop, but many call it buggy, repetitive, and shallow. The game demands heavy micromanagement, and poor AI target prioritization frustrates. A sharp difficulty spike in the secret lab is noted, and reviewers frequently suggest better alternatives like Doorkickers.
