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-stress, casual cooking and restaurant management game where you build and run your own café, feeling relaxed and motivated by a steady stream of new recipes and customer requests.

What players say

Players say the fun early game turns into a slow grind that forces in-app purchases to progress. The game is buggy with crashes and disappearing menus, and progress becomes nearly impossible at higher levels without spending money.
