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 play as a white cat running a cozy bar in a charmingly drawn world, exploring relaxed simulation tasks like making wine and meeting familiar characters.

What players say

Players praise the cute cat protagonist and art style, but most agree the game is rough: English text is broken, the UI is confusing, movement is slow, and there are bugs like clipping and resolution lock below 1080p. The gameplay is shallow with little to do beyond gathering ingredients and serving drinks, and several reviews note the game feels incomplete or unpolished.
