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

Caring for a customizable undead pet in a colorful 2.5D world feels simple and serene, like a low-pressure digital toy.

What players say

A cute zombie pet sim in the style of a classic Tamagotchi. Players enjoy the concept but say it is overpriced for an Early Access title with too little content, a few game-breaking bugs like the herbal tea item, and no music.
