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 warm, thoughtful rhythm of understanding each customer and each recipe, documented like a cozy personal diary.

What players say

Players find BakeryDiary addictive early but say it grows repetitive after about eight hours. Many call for better inventory management, especially auto-packing and a less fiddly system for swapping breads. The cute visuals and simple loop get high marks, but reviewers note high mouse usage and wish for more automation and slower pace late-game.
