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 pure drifting experience focused on mastering tight turns and tandem runs with a chill lo-fi backdrop.

What players say

Players praise the satisfying drift mechanics and nostalgic 90s vibes, but many find the controls clunky or laggy. Complaints are common about limited controller binding options, unstable traction, and visual bugs on first launch.
