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 college basketball coach, making calculated decisions in a detailed simulation of recruiting, training, and game management.

What players say

Players praise the NIL and transfer portal additions for reflecting the modern game, but opinion splits sharply on the sim engine: some find the season outcomes too similar year after year regardless of roster quality, while others call it the best college hoops sim available. Bugs around conference realignment and intermittent freezes frustrate a minority of users.
