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 build and manage a cute pixel soccer team by training players, selling merch, and expanding facilities while climbing leagues and gaining sponsors.

What players say

Players enjoy the simple, cute pixel-art management and the satisfying progression of building a team, but many wish for a fast-forward button, calling the pace a slog. Fan reviews praise the addictive core loop and nostalgia for mobile days, while others find the later stages grindy and repetitive due to limited income even with max sponsors.
