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 fast, floaty arcade racer with customizable karts and colorful power-ups, set on twisting futuristic tracks.

What players say

Players praise the smooth driving and creative track design, but many report confusing level layouts and a lack of keyboard support. The game is seen as an unfinished student project with no multiplayer, and some players experience motion sickness or performance issues.
