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.

What players say

Players praise the hover bike controls and sense of speed, but motion sickness is a common issue even with comfort mode on. The campaign is short with only eight missions and one environment, and framerate can be choppy. Players also note loud menu narration and a broken recentering option.
