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 gentle, low-stress baking simulation where you run your own cozy bakery at a relaxed pace.

What players say

Players are split: some find it a touching, addictive cozy game with adorable characters and stories, others call it boring and shallow. The baking management is simple, most of the gameplay is clicking, waiting, and restocking. The sticker system feels like a gacha grind, and many caution simulation fans to look elsewhere.
