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 weave through highway traffic at breakneck speed, dodging cars to boost your momentum and fighting rivals in a fast-paced arcade battle.

What players say

Players compare it to arcade classics like Wangan Midnight and Initial D, but with motorbikes. The core racing is fun and controls work well, yet the port is barebones: no pause, limited resolution options, and occasional crashes. Some split on value, calling it a decent budget racer while others warn about developer neglect and lack of support.
