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 laid-back, arcade-style driving experience through scenic Japanese roads, focusing on relaxed exploration and the pleasure of drifting.

What players say

Players say JDM nails JDM culture with fun drifting, a manga story, and a eurobeat soundtrack, but the open world feels dead and performance issues like crashes and poor wheel support hold it back.
