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 tense survival journey through a crumbling world, balancing scarce resources and relentless undead threats while managing a train.

What players say

Players are divided on this indie take on the Roblox game Dead Rails. Many call it a direct copy with a slow train, no boss fights, and a poor tutorial, but some enjoy it as a free alternative that continues to receive updates.
