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 2D co-op survival game where you and friends frantically scavenge weapons and vehicles to fend off hordes of zombies.

What players say

Players are sharply divided. Many call it an asset flip or a bait-and-switch, saying the store page shows an older 2D version while the actual game is a laggy 3D top-down survival shooter that crashes at level 7. A few praise the concept and call it addictive, but complaints about bugs, control issues, and de facto paywalled weapons dominate.
