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.

What players say

Players call it a faithful throwback to 90s arcade soccer, especially Sensible Soccer and Kick Off. They praise the simple, fast-paced gameplay and local multiplayer fun, but note it lacks depth, has no career mode, and some found the sound missing on Steam Deck. Players are divided on how much content it has, with some wanting more features like substitutions and team customization.
