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

You feel the gritty crunch of rocks under flexing tires as you carefully navigate photogrammetry-scanned trails, methodically tuning every suspension link.

What players say

Players enjoy the off-road physics and vehicle customization, but say the game is very short and lacks challenge. Many note that development has stopped after a long early access period, making it feel like an unfinished 1.0 release. Fans of SnowRunner or real rock crawling find it fun for a few hours, but not a lasting alternative.
