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.

Driving endlessly through a neon retro-future, collecting time and speed boosts to chase high scores.

What players say

Players describe a simple endless runner with a strong synthwave look and little else. There is no story or goal beyond driving as far as possible while collecting time bonuses. The game offers 9 unlockable cars with special abilities, but reviews split on whether the repetition is relaxing or boring. Some note the same game is available for free on Android.
