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 breezy, low-stakes snowboarding run where you dodge obstacles and grind logs for points.

What players say

Players describe this as a very simple endless snowboarding game with cute, hand-drawn art and calming music. It reminds many of old Flash games or SkiFree, and while it is free, opinions split on whether it does enough to be worth playing beyond a few minutes. Some note glitches like invisible walls and the lack of features like achievements or fullscreen.
