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, eerie yet soothing balancing act of café management and paranormal survival, where every brew and repair keeps a crumbling haven intact.

What players say

Players enjoy the cozy spooky cafe atmosphere and high customization, but note the game only goes to level 13 and lacks replayability. Many report controller support is poor, especially for menus, and there is no cloud saving.
