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.

What players say

Players say this is the best esports manager game they have tried, praising a responsive solo developer and workshop support. Many find matches fun to watch but split on the level of control, with some calling it a watcher rather than a manager. Reviews consistently note the fake player names and shallow negotiation depth, while a few warn new players may feel overwhelmed without a tutorial.
