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, visceral first-person survival experience where you scramble across rooftops and slash through hordes of zombies in a decaying open world.

What players say

Players love the parkour and the way night turns the game into a tense survival horror chase. Co-op is a highlight, with many recommending it for the shared chaos. The day and night cycle creates two distinct experiences, and while the story is considered serviceable, the gameplay keeps players hooked.
