The racer is designed to be a promotional item available from the two developers at PAX East (the studios are sharing a booth). The game comes on a 3.5" floppy with a Steam code printed on the label.

"We only made 200 boxes, and even then some of the floppies might not work, but the people who buy them will be allowed and encouraged to share the game," Capybara co-founder Nathan Vella told Edge.

"While it's totally a real game, it's also not at all a real game."

The untitled project is set to be revealed later this week at PAX East.
