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 mix of brain-teasing trivia and zombie shooting that demands quick thinking and reflexes under pressure.

What players say

Players enjoy the trivia-with-zombies concept, calling it a fun and amusing twist on traditional quiz games. However, many warn about severe performance issues, saying the game runs poorly and overheats even simple hardware.
