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, low-stakes open-world kart racer where you explore a fictional island at a leisurely pace, collecting trinkets and completing events without much intensity.

What players say

Players love the open-world exploration and witty dialogue, calling it a blend of Mario Kart and Banjo-Kazooie. The driving feels smooth, but some note the difficulty spikes later on, especially in the desert.
