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, methodical survival RPG where every resource decision and tactical fight feels weighty as you manage a shelter in a collapsing zombie apocalypse.

What players say

Players love the idea of a zombie survival RPG with shelter management and turn-based combat, but almost everyone reports constant crashes that make the game nearly unplayable, especially on modern systems. The game is no longer updated, and some find the combat RNG frustrating with low hit chances.
