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, chaotic battle royale where quick decisions and randomized skill upgrades keep every short round feeling unpredictable.

What players say

Players praise this free top-down battle royale roguelite for its fast, chaotic fun and fair gunplay. The zombie respawn mechanic lets eliminated players fight for a second chance. Many note it gets grindy without the paid version, and there is only one map and game mode.
