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 quick, tense top-down racer where aggressive driving and careful patience blend in chaotic online multiplayer stock car races.

What players say

Players praise the short track racing physics as fun and easy to pick up, but many find the controls bizarre: acceleration on the left stick, no dedicated brake button. Multiplayer is empty so you need friends or AI isn't there yet. The top down camera is locked, which some dislike. It is clearly early in development but free, so players are hopeful for updates.
