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 lighthearted, story-driven blend of tavern management and point-and-click adventure with a funny, cartoony tone.

What players say

Players praise the engaging story and addictive time management gameplay, but note the English translation is poor and the hard mode gets brutally difficult. The achievements are straightforward, though finding all rats is tedious. Some report minor bugs like black screens or display issues on small laptops.
