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 methodical, data-driven baseball simulation that feels like managing a detailed tabletop board game, rewarding analytical thinking and patient strategy.

What players say

Players mainly use Digital Diamond Baseball V12 as a stats tracker for tabletop games like APBA and Strat-O-Matic, praising the Board Game Companion and the developer's attentiveness to requests. A minority find playing out games feels more like watching than managing, and the lineup editor is clunky. Some see the focus on board game support as neglecting the core simulation depth.
