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 fast and risky drift through lonely space, told with colorful, cinematic flair and a blend of comedy and tragedy.

What players say

Players praise the polished presentation, voice acting and soundtrack, with many drawn to the arcade-style time-attack and completionist loops. The game is challenging but forgiving thanks to frequent checkpoints. Some critics feel the story and score-chasing elements clash, and one notes the Terminal Velocity content requires replaying the original.
