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 breakneck demolition derby where every lap is a spectacle of flying debris, shattered objects, and drivers flung through windshields.

What players say

Players call it the best arcade racing game of its era, with physics and a soundtrack that still hold up. Some note the catch-up AI keeps races exciting, while others warn the widescreen support needs a fan patch and Steam Deck is broken.
