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 stripped-down, off-kilter racing game where you rush through short tracks with floaty physics and a simple, drive-fast-or-retry pressure.

What players say

Players describe it as a minimalist arcade racer with strange physics and clunky controls, though a few note an interesting concept. Reviews are split: some call it cheap fun, others call it a buggy asset flip from a notorious developer.
