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

Building and watching increasingly chaotic contraptions whip ingredients through cannons and trampolines into a finished meal feels delightfully wacky and inventive.

What players say

Players describe a promising factory-cooking game that is held back by broken physics, inconsistent machines, and a near-total lack of controls documentation. Many enjoy the core idea of assembling food production lines, but frustration with stuck items, vanishing food, and overly fast spoilage is widespread. A few veteran players recommend avoiding the levitators entirely.
