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

Playing Zombie Panic! Source feels like a frantic cooperative survival challenge against a zombie horde, with team-based tension and fast-paced action.

What players say

Players praise the physics-based barricading and creative custom maps, but the game is nearly empty now. Some call it a poor man's Left 4 Dead, while longtime fans return for nostalgia.
