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 feel like a real chef in a detailed, physics-driven kitchen, calmly chopping ingredients and cooking recipes with a touch of playful absurdity.

What players say

Players are overwhelmingly negative about a so-called enhanced edition that, by their account, ruined formerly decent performance and introduced frustrating physics bugs, controller tracking problems and janky interactions like turning dials or cutting. A few still find the game fun, but the majority warn the VR version is unplayable after the update.
