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 surreal and punishing first-person cooking simulator where flipping eggs feels like a struggle against physics in a desolate, lore-rich sci-fi world.

What players say

Players cook unusual ingredients like cockroaches and cigarettes in a short, surreal story set in Antarctica. The simple frying pan mechanic gets trickier over time, and the dialogue blends philosophy with absurd humor. Some note minor bugs and driver issues at launch.
