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, action-oriented survival experience where you collect resources and fight off hordes of zombies to stay alive in a hostile world.

What players say

Players say the third-person perspective exposes the game's jank, with combat and camera problems not present in the original isometric version. Reviews are split: some find it charming for a few hours, while others call it a low-effort re-release that feels abandoned.
