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 brutally fast arcade driving game where one mistake ends the run, with chaotic old-school multiplayer and a constant police chase pressure.

What players say

Players enjoy the quick arcade loops and local multiplayer, but the camera angles frustrate some. The driving controls have a learning curve, especially on keyboard compared to the mobile version.
