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 vibrant, synthwave-driven arcade racer that feels like a love letter to 80s pop culture, with tight controls and energetic combat.

What players say

Players praise the synthwave visuals and music but are split on gameplay. Many report controller bugs and stiff controls, while others enjoy the drifting and car abilities. The VR mode is a highlight, though some find it lacks a sense of speed. Performance issues and harsh wall collisions are common complaints.
