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.

About

Killer Freaks from Outer Space is a cancelled game project from Ubisoft Montpellier that was changed to better fit the Wii U platform after being shown at E3 201. It was re-revealed as ZombiU at E3 2012. "In 2012, the world is going down the drain, fast... Reams of alien ships have crashed into our planet, and these big wads of diseased, planet-eating, phlegm are spawning hordes of insanely vicious killers! The dangerous and degenerate creatures from outer space we call FREAKS seek to eradicate the human species with single-minded fury. You're a survivor; a winner -- humanity's only freaking hope! Those raunchy aliens missed their chance to put you and your buddies down. And now you're going to make them regret it -- one slimy alien body-part at a time! Immerse yourself in this psychotic, arcade-style, 4-player co-op shooter; and just try and keep your head..."
