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 co-op barbecue party that starts relaxed but quickly spirals into chaotic, stressful fun with friends.

What players say

Players are split: some call it a cheap, hilarious time with friends, while others find it buggy, soulless, and unfinished. Common complaints include a confusing tutorial, unclear cooking loop, hunger stress, and a game-breaking save bug. Multiplayer works, but performance issues and a feeling of AI-generated content turn many away.
