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 methodically build and manage an esports team, making careful decisions about recruitment, training, and scheduling to climb the ranks.

What players say

Players say the game has a good foundation but feels unfinished, with broken AI that ignores tactics and makes matches feel random. The lack of lower-tier tournaments means new teams constantly face top opponents, and the match engine is criticized for favoring player stats over strategy. Players are split on whether to recommend it, with many hoping future updates will fix the issues.
