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-pressure idle game where you design and automate a cafe with cute cat staff while multitasking on other things

What players say

Players are split on this cute but buggy idle cafe sim. Many praise the adorable cat designs and deep customization, but a significant number report frequent crashes, broken AI where cats stop serving, and confusing controls. Longtime players note the massive map feels empty with too few furniture options, and that updates through early 2025 fixed some bugs but not core stability issues.
