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 methodical, decision-heavy baseball manager that asks you to weigh every pitch and lineup choice with calculated calm.

What players say

Players are split: some enjoy the dice-and-card baseball engine and active developer support, while others say it was released unfinished with lineup order bugs and missing updates, making long-term play unreliable.
