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.

What players say

Players describe a promising top-down zombie shooter with a cartoon style and open world, but split sharply on its value. Many praise the humor and weapon variety, while several report the early access content is very short and updates appear to have stopped years after launch. Enemies hit hard, save points are spaced far apart, and there are no difficulty settings.
