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 goofy yet surprisingly serious racing game where you drift oversized forklifts through industrial ports at high speed.

What players say

Players are split: some dismiss it as an abandoned Unreal asset flip with no players and fatal errors, others enjoy the chaotic arcade fun and the forklift certification meme. The game has limited content and short solo races tend to feel repetitive.
