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

You fight demon zombies with guns and melee while solving puzzles and scavenging for ammo and health in a linear, checkpoint-saved horror game.

What players say

Players enjoy the campy 80s b-movie feel and cheap price, but find the last two chapters and boss fight disappointing. The game is short, about an hour, and some call it buggy but fun for a laugh.
