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

Tactical planning meets explosive zombie dispatch, with a methodical card-based exploration system that rewards experimentation and risk assessment.

What players say

Players are split on Dead Grid. Many find the card-based zombie looting addictive and fun, especially for its low price. Others say it becomes a shallow dopamine loop with inconsequential story and no deep team building. The UI is criticized as messy on Steam Deck, and the displayed horde power is misleading compared to the actual challenge.
