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

Feels like calm, methodical experimentation and lighthearted management as you lovingly brew ales, grow your monastery, and watch your quirky monk crew potter about.

What players say

Players praise the charming pixel art and humorous beer-brewing theme, but many say the gameplay becomes painfully slow and repetitive, with constant micro-management and no automation for late-game tasks. A reviewer notes that the game crashes often. Some find the tutorial unclear and progression aimless.
