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 chaotic, aggressive arcade racer where you ram opponents and exploit shortcuts to win.

What players say

Players love this as a nostalgic top-down racer from the 90s, praising its local split-screen multiplayer and physics. However, the Steam port is deeply broken: it crashes constantly, and many report a bug where all cars explode within two minutes, making the game unplayable for some.
