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 box-garden-like simulation where you manage a university track team through seasons of training and relay races at your own pace.

What players say

Players describe it as a management sim focused on track relay teams, with pixel graphics hiding many training and strategy parameters. Some call it a mere spreadsheet, while others enjoy the depth of building a team for annual races.
