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 grind through historical racing eras, unlocking vehicles and upgrades in multiplayer matches with a progression loop akin to a free-to-play tank game.

What players say

Players praise the unique progression through motorsport eras and the balance between arcade and simulation, but the online is dead and intrusive ads spoil the experience. Players are split on content depth and note the ramming has no penalty.
