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 blisteringly fast, gravity-defying racing game where you zoom along walls and ceilings while blasting opponents with heavy weapons.

What players say

Players call it a modern follow-up to Rollcage that nails the sense of speed and has a great soundtrack, but many complain about oversteer that ruins the driving feel. The AI can be unfair and the campaign gets punishing around tier 9, leading to mixed opinions on whether the frustration is worth it.
