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 deep, strategic management sim where you meticulously train fighters, negotiate bouts, and climb the boxing ranks with a retro feel.

What players say

Players mostly enjoy it as a nostalgia trip, calling it a simple but addictive boxing manager. The fights are text-based and the save system relies on a disk drive, which feels clunky now.
