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

A casual strategy game where you quickly decide the order to eat randomly spat-out food to trigger combos and maximize energy.

What players say

Players love the cute hamster and food synergy depth, comparing eating order to Balatro style building, but they split on later years: some find the map too big and numbers bloated while others keep playing. Many note English typos and wish animations could be sped up.
