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 frantic physics-driven bus that constantly speeds up, forcing players to perform absurd missions with a sense of chaotic humor and growing tension.

What players say

Players describe a physics-based racing game where the bus never stops. The difficulty spikes sharply between easy and impossible levels, and janky controls lead to frustration. Some love the challenge and nostalgia, while others find it amateurish and rage-inducing. Players are split on whether the brief fun justifies the pain.
