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 tense, reactive western duel where every enemy is a unique puzzle demanding rapid perception and precision.

What players say

Players say Cold Iron is a puzzle-heavy dueling game that grows harder and stranger as it goes, with a great voiceover and a satisfying sense of payoff. It is short, around 1.5 hours for most, and can feel repetitive. Index users report the gun angle is broken and never fixed, making the game unplayable on that hardware.
