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

It feels like managing a football franchise from the front office, with deep customization and deliberate, data-driven decision-making.

What players say

Players are split on this game. Many call it the best American football management simulator available, especially for online leagues where the dev is responsive, but they also report agonizing lag between every screen and a lack of documentation that forces trial and error. Some say bugs and freezes during gameplay are dealbreakers.
