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.

What players say

Players split on this early access western. Many praise the setting, crafting depth, and potential, but rough edges dominate: quest items are hard to spot, death strips you of all gear with no marker to recover it, and graphical glitches and clunky horse handling are common reports. Development is active, and long-time players say the two-man team works diligently on fixes.
