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, minimalist driving test where twitch reflexes and careful timing are everything, as a single misstep sends you back to the start.

What players say

Players are divided on this racing game that forces a fixed camera angle per track, making the already janky steering even harder to handle. The car accelerates automatically with no brakes, so it plays like an endless runner, some find the challenge addictive, while many blame poor controls and performance issues.
