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.

A chaotic yet relaxing desert drive with drifting physics and an introspective journey.

What players say

Players describe this as a minimalist, atmospheric driving game that prioritizes drifting and meditation over competition. It offers short tracks and a quirky car roster including a bus, but players are split on the music and wish for multiplayer.
