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 bullet hell western where you patrol procedurally generated towns, duel bandits, and rely on luck to survive.

What players say

Players praise the memory-based gameplay where you must recall wanted faces from posters that fade. Many find the boss fights confusing and the difficulty ramps up quickly, but the core idea is considered clever.
