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 cozy, lighthearted cooking sim where you restore a family restaurant by serving orders and competing against a flamboyant rival chef.

What players say

Players call it a cozy cooking sim with cute visuals, often comparing it to Cooking Mama. Reviews split on the depth: some enjoy the brawls and friendships, others find the cooking loop repetitive and say money becomes useless too early. The game is short, with most finishing in 12 to 22 hours.
