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 breakneck, reflex-driven arcade game where you drift through procedurally generated levels with no brakes, demanding precise piloting under time pressure.

What players say

Players are split on the controls: some find them frustratingly unresponsive, while others say they click into a satisfying drift challenge. The game is very short to 100%, with a strict time limit that creates pulse-pounding tension, but also draws complaints about disorienting screenshake that cannot be turned off.
