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 tense, precision-driven arcade racer where every mistake can be fatal, demanding careful driving along narrow mine-lined paths.

What players say

Players call it a simple, nostalgic time killer with a gameboy feel. Some find it relaxing, others say the obstacles get frustrating. There are reports of unresponsive controls, and players wish for saving, more tracks, and multiplayer.
