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 gritty, high-speed motorbike ride through a desperate, hand-drawn wasteland where every moment of respite is earned through violent action and bullet-time precision.

What players say

Players praise the emotional story, art style, and soundtrack, but say the metroidvania upgrades are minimal and side quest rewards feel worthless. The controls are a divisive learning curve, and the game is short.
