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 and your squad methodically secure objectives, fortify defenses, and mow down relentless zombie hordes in a dark, top-down tactical shooter.

What players say

Players are divided on this top-down zombie tower defense. Some find it a fun, cheap co-op time waster, while others call it unplayable due to bad controls, a punishing difficulty curve even on the easiest setting, and a lack of tutorial. The small amount of content and early access state are also common complaints.
