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 small-scale strategy game where you command undead hordes with simple point-and-click controls, balancing careful positioning against well-armed soldiers in a tense, gory atmosphere.

What players say

Players praise the concept of commanding zombies, but report the game has only two similar levels and feels like an unfinished, repetitive mobile game. Development appears stalled with no updates arriving.
