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 relentlessly challenging, retro-style driving game where you must replay chaotic levels again and again to inch toward success.

What players say

Players praise the rewarding loop of replaying levels to find hidden paths and shortcuts, though the difficulty is high and requires dozens of attempts. The pixel art style is clean, but some find the music grating after a while.
