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 frantic, arcade-style driving game where you constantly swap vehicles to outrun alien beasts across procedurally generated stages.

What players say

Players praise the frantic vehicle-swapping concept and chaotic chases, but many report clunky controls, bugs, crashes, and a lack of controller support. Opinions are split on replay value, some find it fun in short bursts while others say the gameplay loop wears thin quickly.
