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 darkly clever puzzle game where you sacrifice dim-witted critters to use their bodies as tools to progress.

About
The Useful Dead is a puzzle game where you have to die to progress. You control a horde of critically-stupid critters who can use each other’s dead bodies as stepping stones, to hold down buttons, prop open doors, etc. It features about 50 levels and is meant to be a simple, fun time.
