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 pixelated old-west shooter that feels like a rough, quick-fire action arcade game with a gritty, lawless tone.

What players say

Players agree the C64-style western look and SID soundtrack are the strong points, and most say it is fun despite being early access. Common complaints: only two towns, roughly an hour of content, missions that are all 'kill those guys', and no display or accessibility options.
