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

You drive through open villages, taking on delivery jobs while managing basic survival, in a slow-paced, atmospheric world.

What players say

Players call it a cheap, buggy clone of My Summer Car set in a Russian village. Many report crashes, disappearing parts, and a bug where opening a car door kills you. Players split on whether the low price and unique atmosphere outweigh the jank, and some warn the UI looks like a mobile game.
