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 relaxed, strategic sports management sim where you build and coach a pixel-art basketball team.

What players say

Players say it is a typical Kairosoft management sim where training players matters far more than building facilities, but the repetitive late-game and frustrating AI decisions spoil the fun. The basketball mechanics are simplified, no fouls, no player roles, and the final leagues feel unfair even with maxed-out stats.
