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 turn-based tactical roguelite where each shot and step must be carefully planned to outwit enemies on a hex grid, with a satisfying western gunslinger feel.

What players say

Players love the clever hex-based shooting puzzle where you track revolver chambers. It is compared to Into The Breach but smaller, a 20-30 minute snack. Reviewers split on difficulty: early stages feel too easy while the boss is obnoxious. Some wish for more levels and bosses.
