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 and action-oriented survival experience where you scavenge, craft, and fight through hordes of zombies in a harsh post-apocalyptic city.

What players say

Players describe Dead City as a raw asset flip built from a Unity store asset pack. Many call it an unfinished grind with no story, and say difficulty spikes sharply after the first level. Some players bought it only to get cosmetic rewards for another game.
