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

High-octane racing with punishing physics and destructive chaos, challenging only the most skilled players.

What players say

Players say the game is completely unplayable because its online DRM server shut down years ago, leaving it stuck in an activation loop. The developer abandoned it, so there is no hope of a fix. A few positive reviews call it a fun but short technical demo, but nearly everyone warns not to buy.
