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 slick, high-speed arcade racer where you wrestle with a unique twin-stick drift system that feels deeply satisfying to master.

What players say

Players praise the twin-stick controls and sense of speed once they click, but split on PC performance: higher framerate makes cars turn faster, which some call a paywall, and long-time players report cars getting stuck in wall hitboxes for 15 seconds.
