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 chaotic arcade skateboarding game where you gun down rivals and rack up trick combos in a neon-tinged 80s-inspired world.

What players say

Players call it a mashup of Tony Hawk and Wave Race with boats instead of skateboards. The synthwave style and local split-screen co-op get praise, but many find the controls clunky and the difficulty punishing. The online multiplayer is dead and some levels frustrate with poor design.
