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 chilled snowboarding descent blending relaxed exploration with timed racing and ghostly narratives.

What players say

Players describe it as a challenging arcade snowboarder, not the chill experience some expected. It is simple yet satisfying, with a good soundtrack and a difficulty curve that rewards 3-star runs. Some find the level design annoying rather than hard.
