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

Driving a stylized retro-futuristic car through neon-drenched roads with imported music and dynamic rain effects feels like a chill, arcade-like time trial.

What players say

Players are split: some find it a relaxing, vibe-driven experience with ethereal music and environments, while others call it low-effort jank with poor optimization, buggy menus, and boring gameplay that lacks challenge. Complaints about blurry visuals and low frame rates on high-end hardware are common.
