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, side-scrolling survival horror where you scavenge, craft, and stealth through a zombie-infested post-apocalyptic world, with permanent consequences for every decision.

What players say

Players love the This War of Mine-inspired survival loop and 80s zombie atmosphere, but the combat is widely called janky with unavoidable hits and stun locks. Many praise the frequent updates and potential, while split on whether the forced pace from food spoilage hurts the relaxation.
