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 frantic cooperative baking brawl where you and friends juggle dough monsters and try not to drop the goods.

What players say

Players praise the cute bread characters and catchy soundtrack, but find the gameplay slow and tedious compared to Overcooked. Many say the difficulty spikes sharply when chasing three-star ratings, and the game demands a full group of friends since there is no matchmaking. Host-only rewards and some bugs frustrate co-op groups.
