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 relentless struggle to scavenge, build, and defend against undead hordes in a harsh post-apocalyptic sandbox.

What players say

The community is split: loyal fans love the creative building and horde nights, but many long-time players say the developers steadily removed sandbox freedom and replaced it with a forced RPG structure, trader quests, and a clunky skill-via-books system. Reviews agree it should be bought on sale.
