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 blistering, arcade-style chase where you must precisely shoot targets to survive and speed through a neon, abstract course.

What players say

Players see Rayze as a short aim-heavy puzzle racer similar to Neon White. Most enjoy it as a cheap pick-up, but note a late difficulty spike, a disorienting FOV zoom while moving fast, and levels with invisible walls or unavoidable waiting.
