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

Racing downhill in a mine cart, you must lean into tight curves and react instantly to stay on the tracks.

What players say

Players praise the randomly generated tracks that create believable courses each run, and the sense of speed while leaning into turns is a thrill. The game is eurojank with grindy upgrades and no further developer support, but it remains a fun and original take on racing that demands skill.
