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

You glide through abstract, surreal environments in a pure focus on smooth, precise sideways motion, finding a meditative rhythm in every drift.

What players say

Players say it takes patience to learn the controls, but drifting becomes satisfying once it clicks. The game is short, about 4 to 7 hours to complete everything, and some wish for more difficult content.
