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 pixel-art open-world survival game where you scavenge, build, and drive to escape a zombie-infested zone.

What players say

Players praise the game's variety of weapons and enemies, and appreciate the solo developer's rapid updates. However, they are split on the cluttered inventory system and poor auto-sort, and many report performance issues and janky zombie behavior around windows.
