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 frantic arcade shooter where solving basic math problems is the only way to survive the zombie horde, mixing learning with goofy horror.

What players say

Players enjoy it as a fun arithmetic drill, especially for adult brain training, but note that higher difficulties get surprisingly tough. Several mention a bug where subtraction mode doesn't register damage, and the lack of a backspace key for numpad input is frustrating.
