Session: Skate Sim
Inspired by the golden era of skateboarding, the early 90s and early 2000, Session's primary goal is to make you experience what skateboarding really is; an incredible sport where there are no other goals other than expressing your creativity and achieving success through hard work, perseverance and bits of madness for no one else other than yourself.
What it feels like
Made by and for skaters with sincere dedication to authentic skateboarding culture and the sport's ethos. Encourages creative expression and experimentation in trick-landing without consequence, inviting playful messing around. Inspired by the 'golden era' of the 90s/2000s carries subtle nostalgia for a past moment in skateboarding culture.
What it's about
Skateboarding competition and skill expression are the entire purpose of the game, making sports the definitional core. Focuses on the everyday texture of skateboarding culture and personal practice rather than narrative plot.
How it plays
The dual-stick controls faithfully reproduce skateboard physics and momentum, making this the central mechanical pillar. Ultra-realistic skateboarding physics simulation underpins all interaction and challenge. Customizing your skater and equipment with brands is an explicit feature enabling personal expression.
How it looks and sounds
Third-person camera follows the skater, which is standard for skateboarding games and central to the experience.
How it's structured
Designed as a solo experience where self-expression and personal achievement against no imposed goals is the design philosophy. No defined goals—the player sets their own objectives through skate spots and creative expression in a largely player-driven system. Real-life iconic skate spots suggest discrete explorable locations rather than one seamless world.
