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 feel like a patient, calculating stable manager analyzing form, breeding lines, and race outcomes in a deep, text-heavy simulation.

What players say

Players say it's the most realistic horse racing sim available, with deep breeding and stats-driven gameplay that rewards patience. However, many report frequent crashes and a few point out annoyances like tiny text and useless jockey feedback.
