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 scrappy, openly incomplete skateboarding sandbox from a solo developer, with a deliberately honest pre-alpha feel.

What players say

Players say this early-access skateboarding game is rough and barebones, but it is being actively developed by former Tony Hawk's Pro Skater developers. Fans of that series are buying in to support the project and report it already feels fun and nostalgic, though some find the controls too slow and stiff.
