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.

What players say

Players praise the hovercraft concept and detailed visuals but note the low amount of content: only a handful of cars and tracks at launch. The physics feel floaty to some, though others find them deep and entertaining. Multiplayer is the standout mode, especially with friends, while single-player quickly becomes repetitive. Players are split on a few reviewers reporting developer hostility.
