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 desperate scramble through a crumbling city where every tremor raises the stakes and escape always feels just out of reach.

About

Zettai Zetsumei Toshi is a survival action-adventure video game created by Irem. It is the first game in the Zettai Zetsumei Toshi series. The game deals with the characters' survival and escape from the slow collapse of an artificial island. While dodging falling buildings and debris from periodic earthquakes, the player must find a way off the island. In addition, the main character, a reporter, must investigate the reasons for the disaster.

What players say

A clunky but boldly original survival game where an earthquake-ravaged, deserted city is the real enemy, generating constant dread without monsters. Rough and ugly yet quietly progressive, it grew into a cherished cult favorite for daring to be different.
