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

You run a fantasy tavern, balancing bookkeeping and chatting with quirky customers whose problems ripple outward.

What players say

Players describe Tavernier as a short management visual novel with a simple choose-your-own-adventure structure and minimal depth. Many finish in 30 minutes to two hours, and while the low price earns praise, reviewers split on whether the repetitive events and weak writing justify the time.
