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 football management sim where you pore over stats and build playbooks to guide your team through the season.

What players say

Players are split on this football simulator. Many call it the best current option for a football management sim, praising its stat depth and customization. However, reviewers consistently complain about a clunky, slow UI, nonsensical player logic, and a feeling that the game costs too much for its alpha-like state.
