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 survival experience navigating desolate, abandoned zones while hunted by infected mutants.

What players say

Players praise the combat and enemy AI but are split on the game's future. Many complain about severe texture pop-in and audio issues, while others report that updates have stalled and the developer seems unresponsive. The core loop is fun but repetitive early on, and the large map requires building multiple bases.
