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 pixel-art throwback to NES-era soccer games with simple arcade controls and a playful, cartoony feel.

What players say

Players praise the retro NES-style soccer charm but widely agree it is too easy once you figure out the passing trick, even on max difficulty. Many report bugs like matches starting at halftime and say development stalled after early 2023, leaving little content beyond national teams and the global cup.
