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 scavenge and craft in a lonely, decaying world where survival means eating the zombies you kill, creating a grim and desolate atmosphere.

What players say

Players are nearly unanimous that Herd is Coming is painfully slow, with sluggish movement, looting, and animations that make even zombies seem fast. Some appreciate the crafting and survival loop, but even fans warn about the grind and a frustrating upgrade system where expensive chemicals fail.
