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 chaotic, streamlined combat racer where you focus on attacking and defending with monsters instead of steering.

What players say

Players call this a party game best enjoyed with friends, where cars drive themselves and you focus on using power-ups. Reviews praise the free-to-play model with cosmetic-only purchases, and note that races last only a few minutes. Some compare it to Mario Kart, while others find the lack of direct driving control too arcadey.
