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 frantic, tactical management game where you improvise with absurd weapons and abilities to survive a procedurally generated zombie apocalypse.

What players say

Players enjoy the cute pixel art but find the game punishing, with scarce food and unbalanced difficulty. Runs feel determined by luck rather than skill. Many praise the unique hands-off RTS style, but note the loop grows stale once you've beaten it once.
