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

High-octane vehicular chaos where you build and pilot a custom combat car against 50 others in a winner-takes-all race.

What players say

Players praise the concept of a large-scale combat racer with up to 50 cars, but call the execution unfinished. The vehicle handling is widely described as overly slidey and weightless, and the few who can find matches note that the online is empty. Long-time reviewers warn that development stalled for months shortly after release, leaving only a barebones shell with bots that do not work well.
