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 laid-back idle shop management game where you experiment with boba recipes, manage stock, and upgrade your shop at a gentle, low-pressure pace.

What players say

Players praise the cute art and cozy boba-making loop, but nearly all point out the developer abandoned the game in early access years ago with no updates. The biggest frustration is the lack of a save system, forcing a full playthrough in one sitting. A few find the game complete enough despite this, but most warn against buying.
