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 an empty bus through a city where everyone has turned invisible, treating the eerie situation with a cheerful, matter-of-fact demeanor.

What players say

Players almost universally call this an unfinished asset flip with barely any content, most notably a bus that has no visible wheels. The game offers just two short tracks, no menus, no bus unlocks, and enough bugs to fall out of the map. A handful of players treat the invisible wheels and missing passengers as a quirky spooky theme, but the overwhelming verdict is that it is a scam.
