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 manage a virtual kitchen at a relaxed pace, watching ingredients turn into completed dishes as you steadily advance.

What players say

A free idle-incremental cooking game where early progress is fun but turns repetitive, with long-time players noting upgrades stall out. Players often complain that exact ingredient amounts cannot be chosen because the slider jumps past the number, and that many higher-level upgrades sit behind a pricey premium DLC. A recurring bug prevents owned ingredients from appearing in the cookbook.
