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, methodical tactical stealth game where careful planning and precise execution feel rewarding in a rugged Wild West setting.

What players say

Players compare it to Shadow Tactics, calling it a spaghetti western counterpart with puzzle-like stealth and great level design. Many praise the freedom and flexibility, but some find the game slow and the controls frustrating, especially queuing actions in showdown mode. The developer Mimimi is no longer active, which players note with nostalgia.
