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 scrappy solo-made arcade racer where you tear through rocky forests at crazy speeds, collect items, and upgrade your buggy to dominate procedurally generated tracks.

What players say

Players are split on this arcade buggy racer: some enjoy the challenge and old-school feel, but many more condemn the controls as unresponsive and frustrating, especially on keyboard. The game has only one car and one environment, and upgrading handling barely helps with the frequent loop-the-loops.
