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 breakneck arcade racer where you weave through surreal wireframe tracks, smashing obstacles and enemies in a retro-futuristic digital world.

What players say

Players compare it to Audiosurf without the music. Controls are a sore point: keyboard-only with no working controller support. Some find it frustrating while others enjoy its arcade-style polish, but many feel it has aged poorly since its 2011 release.
