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

It feels like a high-speed arcade racer where you boost, jump, and unlock new tracks and trucks to beat your own times.

What players say

Players call this a short, buggy nostalgia title that feels like a rough precursor to the Trials series. It works best on older Windows versions, with frequent texture corruption, shadow flickering, and crashes on modern PCs. The price is widely considered far too high for what is an hour of simple jumping.
