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.

A grounded beach volleyball sim with realistic physics and a competitive edge, played earnestly in local multiplayer or career mode.

What players say

Players praise the core volleyball mechanics and find it a good learning tool for real beach volleyball positioning, with many enjoying the Haikyu soundtrack. However, reviews report annoying bugs like dives not triggering and serves freezing during tournaments, and there is no online multiplayer, which limits replayability for some.
