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 chaotic arcade twin-stick shooter where each gunfighter has unique controls, creating a fast and challenging co-op bullet-hell western.

What players say

Players praise the pixel art, music, and distinct characters with unique control schemes, but the game is widely seen as frustrating. The controls feel stiff, hitboxes are unreliable, and enemies can one-shot you, leading to frequent death from swarms or RNG. Co-op makes the experience more bearable, but single-player often feels unfair rather than fun.
