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-paced, arcade-style zombie shooter where you blast through linear city streets, aiming for high scores with a friend.

What players say

Players call it a worthy spiritual successor to House of the Dead, praising the light gun support and arcade vibe. Many note it is very short, with only a handful of stages, and that development has not seen an update in over two years. Reviews split on whether the difficulty feels fair or frustratingly reliant on ammo limits.
