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 cheesy, campy on-rails shooter where you blast absurdly moving zombies in grainy live-action cutscenes.

What players say

Players are split on whether the charm outweighs the bugs. The campy FMV and B-movie spirit get praise, but the port is glitchy, achievements are broken, and it does not work on Windows 11, several reviews warning that video cutscenes loop or crash on that system.
