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, often humorous race against time as you craft improvised weapons and team up to survive relentless zombie hordes in a sprawling casino resort.

What players say

Players love the creative weapon combos and fun co-op, but many warn that the PC port lacks native controller support and requires third-party software or workarounds to get a gamepad working. Some find the movement janky and the game easier than the original Dead Rising, though the timed Zombrex system still creates stress.
