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

A strategic management simulation where you plan training, tactics, and transfers to build a successful football club.

What players say

Players mostly enjoy a straightforward, text-based soccer management sim, but opinions split on its realism, some find transfers quiet and player growth unrealistic, while others prefer it to newer entries. The UI has glitches and the match engine is basic, yet it remains a go-to for those wanting a fast, low-complexity Football Manager alternative.
