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 breezy, fast-paced restaurant-management game where you juggle orders and customers under a lighthearted time crunch.

What players say

Players love this as a nostalgic time management classic from childhood, praising its 50 levels and straightforward pick-up-and-play loop. But many warn it is buggy, the game glitches in fullscreen and crashes on newer PCs, so they recommend playing windowed.
