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 lighthearted, cartoony action game with fast-paced combat and a silly post-apocalyptic setting centered on rescuing dogs.

What players say

Players compare The Last Friend to Plants vs Zombies crossed with a beat-em-up, and praise the cute dogs and local co-op. Many say the game starts fun but becomes too easy and repetitive once spamming the basic turret and attacks works best. There are split opinions on difficulty, with some finding it casual and short.
