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 play as a rocket car in a physics-based platformer where time control and frame-perfect planning turn high-speed action into a deliberate, puzzle-like challenge.

What players say

Players describe Rktcr as the game version of a tool-assisted speedrun, a physics puzzle that demands obsessive precision through time-rewind mechanics. Nearly every review warns it is brutally difficult, with some calling it harder than Dark Souls, though others find that punishing challenge oddly addictive.
