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 slow-burn tactical dance where every shot and spell matters in a grim, supernatural Wild West.

What players say

Players praise the bravado system that rewards chaining kills with full action point refunds, though some find combat shallow and repetitive after the first third. The campaign is short, around 14 hours, and replayability is limited. Opinions are split on the story, some find it enjoyable, others say it does not match the first game.
