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 play as a doctor navigating a zombie apocalypse while piecing together fragmented memories, creating a tense and somber experience focused on survival and logical thinking.

What players say

Players are sharply divided: some call it a beautifully told story, while many more find it unplayable due to bugs, missing UI text, no auto-saves, and controls that fight the player. The writing and grammar draw particular fire, though a few say the core narrative has potential despite the execution.
