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, arcade-style combat racer with campy FMV hosts and chaotic mid-90s energy.

What players say

Players return for the nostalgia, praising the FMV presentation, soundtrack, and arcade combat racing. The AI rubber-banding and the specific difficulty of the Tibet track frustrate many. The game requires a workaround to launch, and it runs in 4:3 without modern resolution support.
