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 colorful, arcade-style kart racer that feels like a friendly couch multiplayer session with simple controls and lighthearted competition.

What players say

Players call this a loving SNES Mario Kart homage with snappy drifting and smooth controls, though they note the lack of online play and limited modes. Many praise the price and difficulty, while some wish for more content.
