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 fend off relentless zombie waves from a body cam perspective, relying on a single rifle and a flashlight to survive until midnight.

What players say

Players call it a horror-focused wave shooter with a bodycam view and oppressive atmosphere, but many note it lacks content beyond the core loop. A major update in late 2025 polarized the community, with some praising new modes and others feeling it became a watered-down Call of Duty zombies clone that removed original maps.
