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 low-pressure idle game where you nurture a fantasy noodle shop between snippets of rebellious adventure, with a relaxed, whimsical feel.

What players say

Players praise the pixel art and cozy ramen idle idea, but nearly all reviews warn the game is buggy and progression breaks late, with two achievements unobtainable. Reviewers consistently say the developers dismiss bug reports and pushed the game out to fund their main project, so most cannot recommend it.
