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.

What players say

Players widely say the controls feel stiff and the cars handle like they weigh a ton, making races frustrating. The tracks are very small so races end quickly, and there is no music during races, no weapons or power-ups, and no customization. The game was originally free-to-play and later gained a price tag, which upset many reviewers.
