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 frantic, adrenaline-fueled twin-stick shooter where you survive waves of demonic nightmares alone or with friends.

What players say

Players describe it as a fun, low-difficulty local co-op zombie shooter that is short to beat (around 2 hours). They enjoy the leaderboard competition within a small community, though some call it a 'kite simulator'.
