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 frantic, cartoony racing game where you lay traps and items in real time, then race through a suddenly chaotic course full of surprises and friendly competition.

What players say

Players say Running Fable is a charming, strategy-laced arcade racer best enjoyed with friends in short bursts. The pre-race trap and boost placement adds a clever layer, but opinions split on polish: some note glitchy AI and lag, while others praise the smooth motion and nostalgic 90s platformer vibe.
