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 manage a college football program with deep simulation mechanics, balancing recruiting, playbook strategy, and job security pressure.

What players say

Players praise the recruiting system and the ability to export draft classes to the pro version, but many call the game fundamentally broken. The simulation engine is frustrating with unfair difficulty spikes, the interface is clunky, and there is no tutorial to explain key mechanics.
