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 tense top-down survival game where you scavenge for supplies, secure safe houses, and fight zombie waves to escape a quarantined island.

What players say

Players praise the ragdoll physics and fun ideas but agree the game is very early in development, with some calling it a prototype. The voice acting draws near-universal mockery. There are mixed reports on controls and confusion over invisible walls and finding objectives. Those who enjoy it point to the cheap price and potential.
