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.

What players say

Players praise the game as a tense physics challenge that pays homage to the movie Sorcerer, with simple mechanics that demand patience and trial-and-error mastery. Reviews split on the driving: some enjoy the distinct truck handling and find it satisfying once mastered, while others complain about poor traction and unfair deaths.
