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 breezy, colorful arcade racer where you speed around stylized tracks against AI or chase personal bests, with simple vehicle customization and a relaxed feel.

What players say

Players are split on whether this is a racing game at all: most say it controls like a point and click, rotating in place rather than steering. Some find it a fun chill experience, while others call it too easy with no collision control. Keyboard controls are reportedly unplayable and gamepad support is not working.
