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

Gridiron feels like a frantic, arcade-style sports shooter set on the moon, blending fast-paced action with competitive team play.

What players say

Players loved the unique control-based football and competitive community, but the game has been locked down since 2020 with no public access. Many report the developers moved to Epic Games and then went silent, leaving fans waiting for years. Those who played it miss the community and modes like 3v3 Chaos, but some say it was only fun a few times.
