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

RC cars race through energetic obstacle courses with weapons and boost, aiming for fast-paced arcade-style domination against others or solo challenges.

What players say

Players compare it heavily to Re-Volt, with some calling it a worthy modern alternative and others finding it soulless and lacking that game's charm. The physics capture the light, dart-y feel of real RC cars, but opinions split sharply on the music and track design, and the game takes about 7 hours to fully complete.
