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 through neon-soaked cityscapes and trippy wormholes to a synthwave beat feels like a chill, nostalgic driving experience.

What players say

Players love the retro arcade aesthetic but find the game unfinished. Controls and menus are clunky, the bridge level is buggy, and the game can be finished before its achievement timers expire. There is no option to rebind keys.
