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

You frantically mix bizarre space ingredients and serve absurd drinks to colorful aliens, all while feeling delightfully confused and in over your head.

What players say

Players enjoy the tactile drink mixing and station upgrades, but many report a jittery 60hz hand update rate, sound glitches, and an agonizingly slow tutorial with no audio. Opinions split on whether the crafting and story quests distract from the arcade bartending.
