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, arcade-style surfing game that feels like a quick, accessible session of catching waves.

What players say

Players praise it as a solid standalone surf game that captures the feel of CS Source or GMod surfing, with smooth movement and a steady flow of new community maps. Reviews highlight the repetitive retry-based gameplay and the friendly, responsive development team.
