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 relentless, aggressive top-down racing game with chaotic vehicle combat and a retro arcade feel.

What players say

Players describe it as a simple 2D combat racing game that is fun in short bursts but lacks depth. The lack of manual acceleration is a common complaint, and some feel it plays like a mobile game. Reviews split on whether the simple gameplay is charming or boring.
