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 contemplative cafe management simulation that blends the mundane rhythm of coffee-making with the surreal, anxious nostalgia of living through a historic pandemic.

What players say
Players call this a short, chill visual novel with simple coffee-making mechanics that accurately recall pandemic-era Japan. Some find the story shallow or repetitive, while others value it as a nostalgic time capsule. Opinions split on a card mini-game with unclear rules and on characters with controversial viewpoints.
