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 struggle for survival where you scavenge by day and hide from more aggressive zombies at night, often cooperating with others or going it alone in a lawless world.

What players say

Players say the game feels unfinished and abandoned by its developer, Snail Games, with dead servers and areas of the map missing textures. One player with 239 hours notes a base maintenance mechanic, but the general sentiment is the game was left at roughly 25% completion.
