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 thoughtful, numbers-driven simulation where you build and manage a baseball team's roster and finances from the GM's chair.

What players say

Players call it a lighter alternative to OOTP, focused on stats and team management over action. It lacks graphic polish and some history features, and long-time users note development has stagnated for years, while a minority prefers its simplicity.
