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 deceptively simple game that shifts from meditative calm to tense concentration as you stir without ever letting the curry burn.

What players say

Players stir curry in real time, but the only ingredients are potatoes and carrots. Let the pot sit too long and the curry burns, ending the run. Reviewers note the lack of meat, that carrots sometimes fly out of the pot, and that controller support is missing. Many call it a time sink and hope future updates add more content.
