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 frantic, top-down zombie survival game where you must constantly move and shoot to survive endless waves.

What players say

Players describe a very basic 2D zombie survival game that gets repetitive fast. The pixel graphics and gore are fine but the screen shake and red blood make it hard to see platforms. Most agree it is too easy, with a simple camp-and-shoot strategy that trivializes the game after a few waves.
