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 gentle blend of inn management and courtship with a retro pixel aesthetic, where cooking duels and character interactions unfold at a relaxed pace.

What players say

Players praise the nostalgic charm and gentle slice-of-life management gameplay, but many report the Steam re-release runs worse than the original, with crashes, mouse sensitivity problems, and no windowed mode on modern systems.
