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 fast-paced pixel-art platformer with a gritty spaghetti western feel, driven by luck mechanics and a jazzy hip-hop soundtrack.

What players say

Players praise the Western aesthetic and soundtrack, but the difficulty and unskippable cutscenes frustrate many. Controls feel janky to some, and the luck mechanic divides opinion between interesting and tedious.
