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 scrounge for gear and perks while surviving increasingly overwhelming monster waves in a grim, post-apocalyptic countryside.

What players say

Players praise the tense horror atmosphere and the darkness mechanic that makes the flashlight central to gameplay, but many report poor optimization causing stutters and crashes. Views on content are split: some find it fun and addictive, others call it content-light with only one map and repetitive runs.
