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, cooperative drive where one blind driver and a shouting passenger struggle to keep a falling-apart car on the road against a hostile world.

What players say

Players are split: some call it a hilarious co-op experience, especially with a friend, while others report severe motion sickness, janky physics, and very short content. There is no online matchmaking, and the passenger role has little to do.
