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 frantic wild west shootout where players blast each other with shotguns and pistols on a moving train

What players say

Players describe this as a barebones free-to-play Wild West shooter that is still too early in development. The main complaints are a dead online population, forcing you to fight bots on a single map, and poor optimization. A few note it could have potential but development appears to have stopped.
