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 slow, deliberate management sim where you carefully build a fighting promotion week by week, feeling the weight of each decision as careers and rivalries unfold.

What players say

Players appreciate the concept and bones of an MMA sim with lethal fights, but find the tutorial lacking, the menus clunky, and the battles entirely text-based with no animations. Many call the content barebones, though the developer is actively updating and communicating.
