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 and violent first-person survival horror where you fight fast zombies and scavenge for supplies while pushing through a linear post-apocalyptic environment.

What players say

Players describe Invention 3 as a basic Left 4 Dead clone with no multiplayer or special zombies. The campaign is about an hour long and lacks a story. Shooting is simple but zombies sprint faster than the player, making encirclement deadly. Some call it an asset flip, and many say it is only worth the very low price.
