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

You drive a goofy bird up a mountain with deliberately silly controls, blending cozy exploration with mechanical absurdity.

What players say

Players call Summit Drive a forgiving rage game that respects their time by not fully resetting progress on failure. Most finish in 2–3 hours across two climbs, praising the cute bird, jazz radio, and how the controls become intuitive with practice. Some find it clunky at first, but agree that is by design.
