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

Feels like a deep, slow-burn management sim where you pore over stats and rosters to build a winning college program.

What players say

Players are split, many enjoy the addictive recruiting and team building but others find the game a yearly reskin with shallow tactics and UI that requires excessive clicking. There are consistent complaints about broken recruiting, corrupted saves, and a slow simulation speed that hasn't improved across years.
