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 report the game is almost identical to Pro Cycling Manager 2015, with crashes being the most common complaint across all modes. Many describe it as a re-skinned version of past entries, and frustration is high that a multiplayer account is required even for single-player.
