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 first-person career simulation where you manage a footballer's on-field matches and off-field life, blending strategy, time management, and personal decisions.

What players say

Players say the early game is a boring grind with no matches for hours, and the hard attribute cap at 14 frustrates those who want to grow. The lack of out-of-game progression or roguelike resets makes replay feel pointless, and the dating mechanic seems irrelevant to the core goal of winning. Split on difficulty: some find it too hard, others breeze through at low settings.
