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 light, cozy time-management puzzle where you help a couple defend their restaurant against a corporate bully by serving dishes under gentle time pressure.

What players say

Players call this a solid time management game that gets challenging in later stages, but many point out the robot assistant is buggy, it stops picking up coins and ruins combos. Others report clickable hitbox problems with drink machines and a specific character. Some accuse it of being an asset flip, and several note the lack of Steam achievements.
