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, unforgiving struggle to lead a ragtag group through zombie-infested ruins, where every decision and random event can mean life or death.

What players say

Players say this zombie survival roguelike starts with promise but quickly becomes repetitive, with shallow AI and unbalanced mechanics. Long-time reviewers describe it as a project stuck in early access, though a few note the low price and respect the solo developer's effort.
