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 straightforward, pick-up-and-play online racing game with short, snappy races and a focus on earning credits and improving a rating, though winning is the main goal.

What players say

Players say the driving model is simple and grippy with no oversteer, making it easy to focus on racing but also too simplistic for some. Online is nearly dead, so races are mostly against AI. The game feels unfinished, missing basic features like controller support and the ability to turn off the racing line, and players hope for future updates.
