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 fast, two-button arcade survival game where you slash through waves of zombies under a static full moon.

What players say

Players describe a short beat-em-up that uses only two buttons and permanent upgrades, which makes early runs feel rough until coins pile up. Completing everything takes about one to two hours, and while some praise the replay loop, others note unresponsive menus, a single stage, and troublesome invisible enemies or jump attacks in later nights.
