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 slow-paced, methodical driving simulator where you earn money by carefully towing illegally parked cars through city traffic.

What players say

Players universally describe this as a broken, unfinished simulation with unresponsive controls and a painfully slow crane. The physics cause the truck to flip for no reason, and there is no tutorial or save system. A few buy it for laughs, but most say it is not worth even a dollar.
