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 thoughtful, data-driven cricket management sim where every decision feels deliberate and the clean interface keeps you focused on building your team and winning matches.

What players say

Players say this version adds a long-requested player editor and a cleaner UI, though licensing forced a name change that is quick to fix manually. Most find the T20 mode more realistic and the game as addictive as ever, but a few report crashes and a difficulty spike where weaker teams dominate.
