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

What players say

Players call this a decent but primitive esports management sim that was abandoned by its developer after 2017, leaving promised features unfinished and a heavily Chinese-oriented interface. Long-time players say it is the best option in its niche thanks to community mods, though many split on whether it is worth buying given the lack of support.
