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 tense, emotionally charged narrative adventure where every decision weighs heavily amid a zombie apocalypse.

What players say

Players agree this is the weakest season of Telltale's Walking Dead, with a slow middle and shallow side characters whose loyalty flips too often. The new protagonist Javi and his family story work well, but Season 2 endings are ignored and most choices feel meaningless. The final episode redeems much of the season.
