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

Cruising an endless neon highway to synthwave music feels like a calm, hypnotic escape into a retro-futuristic dream.

What players say

Players describe it as a visually appealing but shallow driving game, best suited as a zen experience while multitasking. However, multiple reviews criticize it as an abandoned asset flip that barely qualifies as a game, with one pointing out achievements are pay-to-win and another reporting the game no longer boots up.
