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 quirky, fast-paced puzzle-platformer with lighthearted gore and a playful sense of chaos.

What players say

Players describe a basic puzzle-platformer with three switchable zombie forms, but find the controls clunky, level design boring, and the humor hit-or-miss. Opinions split on whether the near-instant respawns make up for the repetitive gameplay and lackluster art.
