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 lightweight, pick-up-and-play arcade racer where you choose a car, hit the track, and compete for high scores.

What players say

Players praise the graphics and tracks but criticize the one-button drift system that removes control. Getting stuck off-road without a reset option also frustrates. The game works better with a controller.
