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 methodical puzzle racer where you strategically plan each move in a time-stopped, colorful top-down track.

What players say

Players call it a turn-based logic puzzle with a racing skin, not an actual racer. The challenge spikes early, especially with half-tile corrections and vehicle swapping. Levels offer three medal objectives, but each requires a separate playthrough, forcing repetition.
