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

You manage supplies, fence repairs, and the needs of a mother and child while shooting endless zombies in a tense, top-down scramble to escape.

What players say

Players praise this as a tense, bite-sized roguelite where you manage a baby, resources, and zombie hordes as a single mother. It is short, around one to two hours, but they find it replayable through New Game Plus and difficulty modifiers. Reviews split on the difficulty: some find it too easy, others frantic.
