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

A chaotic, top-down motorcycle game that blends retro arcade racing with story-driven challenges and a punk rock soundtrack.

What players say

Players describe it as a fast-paced top-down motorcycle arcade game with simple controls and retro style, but many find it too hard and repetitive. Several compare it unfavorably to Road Rash, and complaints about night driving and difficulty spikes are common.
