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 low-key management simulation where you oversee both high school and university ekiden relay teams, guiding athletes through seasons of training and races.

What players say

Players describe this as a spreadsheet-heavy management sim for Japanese high school and college ekiden relay teams. The interface and low-poly graphics feel dated, but fans enjoy digging into player stats and scouting for the right runners across multiple seasons.
