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, zombie-infested road trip where you scavenge and shoot through overrun towns with quirky characters and chaotic action.

What players say

Players praise the core loop and backpack inventory system, comparing it to a mix of Vampire Survivors and Backpack Hero. However, many are frustrated by slow meta-progression and difficulty that scales faster than the player can, leading to a grind. Opinion is divided: some find it addictively replayable, others say it becomes annoying rather than fun.
