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 retro-styled, top-down action game set in a comedic, violent Wild West with difficult gunfights and exploration.

What players say

Players are split on Dead Dust. Some find it a fun, short twin-stick shooter, while others call it bare-bones with broken unlocks, no saves, and a difficulty spike on the second level. Many note the aiming feels bad and enemy variety is low.
