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.

A calm, hands-on cooking management experience where you build and run a restaurant step by step, with colorful visuals and satisfying task completion.

What players say

Players report a promising but broken early-access game. Bugs include items not registering in bowls, customers floating in the air, and knives getting stuck while chopping. The developer stopped responding in March 2024, cancelled planned updates, and started a new project, leaving the game unplayable for many.
