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 brief, unsettling blend of cozy ramen-stall routine and slow-burn horror, meant to be finished in one late-night session.

What players say

Players praise the cooking mechanics and unsettling atmosphere but are split on whether it delivers as a horror game. Many find the story mode too short, ending abruptly after about 20 minutes, though an update added a more robust endless mode.
