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 calm, data-driven horse racing management sim focused on breeding, training, and strategic planning with a classic 2D race view.

What players say

Players say it is the most detailed horse racing sim available, but crashes and corrupted saves plague the experience, forcing constant manual saving. The 2D races are a deliberate return to an older style, and newcomers should expect a steep learning curve without a good tutorial.
