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, experimental collection that blends vehicular deathmatch with darkly comic sci-fi and a platformer, feeling arcadey and fast-paced.

What players say

Players describe Video Realms as an abandoned Early Access collection of three games where only the car combat mode is playable. They compare it to a spiritual successor to Twisted Metal but note the developer stopped updating it and the other two modes are broken or unfinished.
