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 arcade racer where you grapple and slide through tracks, relying on quick reflexes and rewinding to recover from mistakes.

What players say

Players enjoy the responsive wall-running and speed-focused parkour, but the game launched with only one or two maps, leaving many wanting more content. They are split on whether the repetition is a dealbreaker or just part of the learning curve.
