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

Flying drones feels realistically fast and precise, demanding careful control and practice to master racing lines.

What players say

Players say the official servers are gone, which breaks online play, progress saving, and some tutorial content. A community patch restores multiplayer, but those who buy unaware find the game mostly nonfunctional.
