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 tense, turn-based tactical sports game where you outthink opponents through precise positioning and timing on a randomly generated field.

What players say

Players praise the tactical robot football concept but warn the game is broken on modern Windows, abandoned by its developer, and plagued by a steep difficulty curve and repetitive matches.
