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 high-speed hoverboard adventure across an alien world, combining thrilling action with mysterious exploration.

What players say

Players enjoy the hoverboarding but are split on the rest. Many call the open world empty and the combat weak, with a grindy crafting system that forces you off the board. Some also note the sound design feels sparse and the game lacks objective markers.
