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

Managing an open-wheel racing team feels like a tense, fast-paced strategic puzzle with a retro, minimalist aesthetic and relaxed overhead perspective.

What players say

Players describe Golden Lap as a casual, relaxing 1970s racing management game that is complex without being overwhelming. Many enjoy the strategic tuning and pit-stop elements, but some note the AI pitting is flawed and race outcomes feel highly predictable after a few seasons.
