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 chaotically fun, over-the-top zombie survival sandbox where you craft silly weapons and explore a large infected city.

What players say

Players split on Dead Rising 3: those who play solo often find the controls clunky, the story bland, and technical bugs like inventory freezes and save-wiping glitches ruin the late game. Co-op turns the same game into an absolute blast, with many saying the open world and weapon crafting shine only with a friend.
