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 tense, high-speed arcade game where you dodge obstacles and collect orbs in short, punishing runs that demand sharp reflexes.

What players say

Players are split on DriftForce. Many praise its clean visuals and sense of speed, but the core gameplay draws heavy criticism: there are no brakes, obstacles are hard to see against the track, and the controls feel sluggish for the required fast dodging. The game has received no content updates since release, and runs are short but punishing, relying on memorization rather than reaction.
