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 slow-burn western shooter mixing tense stealth with explosive gunfights and a gritty, cinematic story.

What players say

Players praise the western atmosphere and story, especially the dual protagonist setup with the preacher Ray being a standout. Opinions split on the Billy levels due to frustrating platforming. The gunplay is simple but fun, though movement and controls feel dated. Long-time fans call it a classic with rough edges.
