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 calm, low-pressure simulation where you carefully mix lattes to match the weather, slowly restoring a home and brightening a gloomy town.

What players say

Players enjoy the early puzzle of finding the right recipe for weather, but once solved the game becomes repetitive with little to do after day 30. The story teases a new location that never appears, and bugs like progress-ending negative money can ruin a save.
