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, neon-drenched arcade racer where you drift, boost, and blast opponents through twisting zero-gravity tracks.

What players say

Players love the retro Tron aesthetic and synth soundtrack, but almost everyone warns the online matchmaking is empty, you need friends locally or via invite. They praise the simple controls that hide a high skill ceiling, and many call the split-screen co-op a standout feature.
