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 methodical, strategic simulation of building and racing cars where you balance production, research, and competition.

What players say

Players praise the factory-racing hybrid concept and the developer's fast, community-driven updates, but the game is clearly unfinished. Many call it an alpha with no tutorial, bugs, and heavy police interference. Localization issues and generative AI art also draw criticism.
