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 brutal and darkly humorous turn-based sports strategy game where you manage violent fantasy football matches with tactical depth and gory outcomes.

What players say

Players say the game is a faithful tabletop port, but the single-player and eternal league modes are broken, the AI seems to cheat on dice rolls, and the developer stopped supporting it. Many recommend avoiding it unless playing with a friend, though some still enjoy the core gameplay.
