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 calm, methodical experience of navigating a detailed city and managing a taxi business.

What players say

Players praise the Barcelona setting and driving feel, but the game is plagued by broken traffic and pedestrian AI that stops or freezes, severe performance issues on high-end hardware, and poor wheel support. Many say it becomes repetitive quickly on a small map, and long-time players report development was abandoned.
