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 detailed, methodical management sim where you pore over stats and build a football dynasty through trades and play-calling.

What players say

Players are split on this football sim. Some call it the best American football management game available and praise its depth, while others find the GM elements bland, the interface slow and buggy, and the default rosters unrealistic.
