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 breakneck vehicular brawler where you slam through walls and cops at the cost of your own health, balancing reckless speed with tactical risk.

What players say

Players describe it as a chaotic mix of combat racing and roguelite mechanics, comparing it to Nuclear Throne with cars. Boosting costs health and creates a risk-reward system. The final boss feels mismatched with the skills players build during runs.
