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

You control your descent by physically leaning and poling with VR controllers, dodging obstacles and performing over-the-top stunts in a fast-paced, immersive ski run.

What players say

Players say the game is a simple, fun skiing experience with a steep learning curve, but it is held back by buggy controls and a lack of content, with only one track. Opinions split: some find it a blast for the price, especially on sale or for showing to friends, while others report it unplayable due to issues grabbing poles or turning, and it makes some nauseous.
