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 top-down survival shooter where you scavenge, craft, and build a base while fending off zombies in a post-apocalyptic open world.

What players say

Players are split on ZIC: Survival. Many call it a cheap cash grab with bugs, clunky controls, and a resource grind where wood is the bottleneck. A few enjoy the crafting and quests for the low price, but even they point out glitches like the lock-picking freeze. For a true free alternative, players recommend Unturned.
