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

Managing a fantasy inn feels like a cozy, lighthearted balancing act of cooking, accommodating quirky guests, and keeping finances in check.

What players say

Players enjoy figuring out what each fantasy creature likes to eat and drink, calling the game simple and stress-free. But many point out Early Access problems: a broken note-taking feature, no save system, and a font that is too small to read.
