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-energy inline skating and graffiti game with tight momentum-based platforming, dodging cops and taser cameras to the beat of adrenaline-pumping tunes.

What players say

Players love the spirit but warn about the controls. Many say it feels like a raw, unpolished Jet Set Radio tribute. The confusing episodic release is a recurring complaint, with players split on whether later episodes improve. Movement is described as satisfying once learned but frustrating until then.
