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 slick, top-down arcade racer with retro vibes and diverse cars that range from sports cars to a UFO, emphasizing smooth and varied handling.

What players say

Players say Race Arcade is a nostalgic top-down racer with solid track design and a track editor, but the handling feels blocky and cars lack distinctiveness. The career mode is very short, the AI is aggressive, and multiplayer is dead, with development abandoned.
