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 quiet, contemplative drive through desolate landscapes, focused on drifting and navigating a solitary route without urgency or explanation.

What players say

Players praise the chill, vibey atmosphere and satisfying truck handling, but many find the open world too empty and note occasional bugs like falling through the map. The core loop of scouting routes then delivering an energy core before it overheats is well received, though late-game progress can feel unclear.
