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 chaotic arcade racing game where you smash and destroy rival trucks to win.

What players say

Players report the game is unplayable because servers are shut down, leaving even single-player modes stuck on a connection screen. Those who did play describe a basic arcade racer like a cheap Mario Kart with trucks, but complain about poor controls and a confusing menu that mixes controller and keyboard inputs.
