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 melancholic, meditative skate through a surreal underworld, where each trick feels like a ritual and the world is made of ash and pain.

What players say

Players praise the surreal art, music, and philosophical story, calling it a unique experience that blends style and emotion. The skating leans toward realistic physics with trial-and-error sections, and while some find the story too weird, the game is short but leaves a lasting impression.
