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 lighthearted, scribbly visual novel that blends zombie survival with schoolyard humor and a choose-your-own-adventure feel.

What players say

Players praise this remake of a Newgrounds classic for its improved art and story, but are split on the writing, calling it amateur. The mini games are a highlight for some and frustrating for others. It's short, around an hour per playthrough, with multiple endings and adjustable difficulty.
