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 relaxed but timed puzzle of memorizing coffee ingredients and origins, played through drag-and-drop while learning about specialty coffee.

What players say

Players are sharply split. Many call it a lightweight free coffee-making sim that is fine for killing time, while others say it feels like an advertisement for a real cafe in Spain and that the customer orders are confusing, poorly worded, and hard to fulfill. A time limit pressures players, and several reviewers report that one achievement cannot be earned.
