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

You feel like a methodical general manager and coach, building a franchise through careful roster moves and real-time play-calling.

What players say

Players appreciate the quick 15-minute games and casual management loop, but sentiment is split on the technical state. Many call it abandoned after the developer went silent in late 2019, leaving bugs unfixed and features unfinished.
