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

You navigate a pixelated city as a musician turned survivor, fighting zombies and uncovering a virus's origin with a tense, retro action-horror feel.

What players say

Players call this a clear homage to Resident Evil, translated into 2D pixel art. They praise the atmosphere but note the saving system is unforgiving and the game is short enough to finish in one sitting.
