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 persistent open-world survival game where you start with nothing, scavenge for resources, build shelters, and fight both zombies and other players in a tense, immersive struggle for survival.

What players say

Players widely agree the game has been abandoned, with no updates since 2023 and a misleading release date. The map feels empty, basic survival mechanics are missing, and online servers are dead, leaving only local play. Some see a spark of what could have been, a DayZ or Deadside homage.
