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.

What players say

Players view Z1 Battle Royale as a pioneer of the battle royale genre that is now a neglected shell, kept alive mostly by nostalgia. They consistently say the original zombie survival mode was more fun and that the game was mishandled by Daybreak, with microtransactions still working while the game itself is abandoned.
