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.

What players say

Players split on this college football sim: the recruiting mini-game is praised as fun and challenging, but many say the actual game simulation is broken and unrealistic, with top recruits not translating to wins. Complaints about crashes, clumsy UI, and no Mac support are common, though some enjoy the management depth and low system requirements.
