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.

What players say

Players describe The Drunken Beard as a cozy-chaotic tavern simulator that balances relaxing customization with frantic service pressure. Many note the satisfying progression and personality, while a few criticize the lack of key rebinding. The humor of customers fighting and dwarves vomiting is widely appreciated.
