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 deep, methodical management sim where orchestrating sponsorships, car design, and driver hires creates a tense pursuit of racing glory.

What players say

Players praise the nostalgic feel for fans of Grand Prix World and Grand Prix Manager, but opinions are split on polish. Many encounter game-breaking bugs, freezes, and crashes, especially late in a season, while others enjoy the deep team management and mod support. The developer is seen as caring but updates have slowed, leaving some feeling the game is unfinished.
