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 high-speed arcade racer that demands quick reflexes and precise timing across a series of increasingly intense race modes.

What players say

Players praise the VR controls as intuitive and unique, and most find the handling satisfying once mastered. But players split on collision physics: some say hitting walls or opponents sends the ship bouncing uncontrollably, a frustration that others see as fair punishment for mistakes. The early access state has limited track variety, though the existing ones are described as roller coaster-like.
