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 bright, family-friendly racing adventure that feels like driving through a Pixar movie with simple controls and cheerful characters.

What players say

Players are split on the PC port's stability, with some calling it broken and others needing a compatibility tool to run it. Racing is widely considered very easy, with AI far behind, and the campaign is short. Longtime fans play for strong nostalgia and the faithful story, not for a challenge.
