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 frantically type words to shoot zombies in a top-down survival arena where each level ups the challenge and a single mistake means permanent death.

What players say

Players enjoy the typing-roguelike action early on but frustration grows around level 15. Enemies that swap their words mid-stroke break combos, and the mix of real words with random letters and numbers feels unfair. The shop appears unpredictably, and high-level play turns into a struggle. Some call it an asset flip of Synty assets.
