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 nostalgic, laid-back arcade racer set on scenic mountain roads where you drift through night-time battles with a smooth, colorful 90s aesthetic.

What players say

Players praise the drifting physics and Initial D atmosphere, but the game has not been updated since 2021 and feels unfinished. There are no AI opponents or ghosts, and multiplayer is empty, leaving only solo time trials.
