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, quick-session arcade racer where you drift, dodge, and smash enemies while racing against a ticking clock to beat your own high score.

What players say

Players praise the 2D drifting feel and fair challenge, but note it is not a Vampire Survivors-like, there is no permanent character growth, just buying better cars. Many find it tough to master, yet the short arcade runs keep them coming back. Some wish for clearer arena edges and easier boss fights.
