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 cozy, character-focused visual novel where you run a fantasy tavern and immerse yourself in dialogue-driven stories.

What players say

Players praising the prequel for its emotional story and gorgeous art, but split on the new drink-mixing system which they find more complex and sometimes obtuse. Many note that player choices feel less consequential than in the original Tavern Talk, though the characters and worldbuilding remain strong.
