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, fast-paced pixel art roguelike where you blast through hostile canyons as a cowboy, with punchy combat and procedural runs.

What players say

Players praise the fast-paced gunplay and high replayability, with some amassing dozens of hours. A few note the environments feel repetitive and the game gets dry after 100% completion. The game is graphically demanding for its style, and some players dislike that you have to shoot dogs.
