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 lighthearted, dialogue-driven adventure where you navigate small-town politics and personal loyalties with a touch of whimsy.

What players say

Players praise the Western setting and atmosphere but consistently note the game is short, with some finishing in under an hour. Reviews are split on the art and sex scenes, with many calling them robotic or bad. The prairie dog shooting mini-game and multiple endings are frequently mentioned, as is the poor English translation.
