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

You run a cozy neighborhood Korean restaurant, making kimbap and other dishes in a calm, repetitive, and satisfying simulation loop.

What players say

Players find the game fun but painfully busy, with the fridge and storage space a constant frustration. Performance problems, late stalling and missing content keep it rough, though many call it a good time killer if optimized. Fans of Onigiri Simulator will feel at home, but splits emerge between those excusing Early Access and others calling the price hard to justify.
