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 calm, detail-oriented bartending simulation where you carefully mix drinks while chatting with customers at your own pace.

What players say

Players enjoy the repetitive, relaxing bartending loop and find it useful for learning real drink recipes. But reviews agree the game lacks content, few recipes, limited customization, and a short story mode, and some mention performance issues on lower-end PCs.
