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 fast, pixel-art beat-'em-up that blends zombie survival with relentless side-scrolling combat, feeling like a throwback to early 2000s flash games.

What players say

Players overwhelmingly praise a fan-made mod over the original game, which they call a lazy, buggy port of an old Flash action RPG. Sentiment is split: some buy it for nostalgia and the mod, while others refuse to pay the $18 base game plus a $36 trainer. Many criticize the developer for poor optimization, forced grinding, and pay-to-win mechanics, calling it a disrespectful cash grab.
