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 chaotic, colorful arcade racer where you ram rivals and dodge power-ups in tight, single-screen battles.

What players say

Players describe a top-down arcade racer built around a no-brake gimmick, where steering and wall-bouncing replace braking. The couch multiplayer for up to eight players is praised, but many say the track count is low and the fun fades fast without friends. Reviews are split on whether the controls feel intentional or frustrating.
