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

Tinkering with panel parts to build odd little vehicles and freely puttering around an open world to see what new contraption and discovery you can make next.

About

Panekit is a sandbox open world exploration, collection and (optional) construction game. Make your own models and vehicles by combining 8 kinds of panel shaped parts and then drive them around an open world. Each vehicle has different capabilities that can be used to discover new land. It's possible to build machines capable of walking, driving, flying and even transforming between forms. New parts and equipment can be found by driving around the open world and there are mini games - also discoverable in the open world - including: one on one tank shooting battle, sports car race, dragster race, rally race and even an aircraft competition. Two player mini games and demos of various vehicles are both accessible from the main menu.
