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 fast-paced survival shooter where quick progression and plentiful loot drive constant action in an open world.

What players say

Players compare Deadside to DayZ and Rust but say it is friendlier to casual play. The game is split between those who enjoy the no-nonsense survival loop and those who find it too grindy and boring. Many complain vehicles are too rare, turning the game into a running simulator, and that AI bots either have aimbot or are blind. Hackers and low population are recurring issues.
