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 top-down shootout through zombie hordes, with scarce resources and a tense struggle to reach safety.

What players say

Players are split between those who call it an asset flip from a known scam studio and those who enjoy a short, cheap zombie shooter. Criticism focuses on bugs, lack of balance, a game-breaking boss bug, and the chainsaw making guns pointless.
