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 DIY car-building sandbox where you assemble and tune vehicles piece by piece under neon night skies.

What players say

Players praise the tuning culture but find the multiplayer population dead and the upgrade system punishing, with a 1% success chance past a certain point. The dev left development for a while and has since returned, but reviews are split on whether the game has enough content to justify the grind.
