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

You drive a single road up a mysterious island, needing precise control to avoid tumbling off the edge without checkpoints.

What players say

Players are split on Drive Up: some call it a fun rage simulator despite obvious asset-flip roots, while others condemn its poor optimization, bad default controls, and AI-voiced dialogue. The physics feel random rather than skill-based, and the game is loud with no audio mixer.
