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 mixed-pacing game blending run-and-gun platforming, stealth segments, and horseback riding with unlockable modes for replay variety.

What players say

Players call Cursed West a laughably bad arcade shooter with clunky controls and a low-budget aesthetic. Some see it as a cheap, fun distraction inspired by Sunset Riders, but most find it simplistic and frustrating.
