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 chaotic, absurdly humorous sandbox where you gleefully chase and eat the brains of weird citizens.

What players say

Players love the idea of playing as a zombie gaining powers by eating brains, often comparing it favorably to Stubbs the Zombie. They split on execution: some find it a fun brain-off romp, while others report the game became buggy after an update, with broken vehicles, frequent glitches, and missing control options.
