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

You mindlessly lure zombies into traps, solving simple puzzles without much tension or difficulty.

What players say

Players praise the mix of tactical puzzle solving and fast action as zombies are lured into traps. The game is short but has replay value from leaderboards. Some find later levels too hard.
