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 top-down shooter where you must balance firepower with strategy to hold back relentless waves of infected.

What players say

Players are split on Deadstone. Some enjoy it as a simple, cheap hybrid of twin-stick shooter and tower defense with a decent story and upgrade system, while others find the missions boring, the controls clunky, and the graphics dated, likening it to a free flash game from years ago.
