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

Running a cozy pub in a 1990s Finnish village feels calm and low-stakes, with simple management tasks alone or with friends.

What players say

Players are split on bugs versus authenticity. Some say it nails the nostalgic 90s Finnish pub atmosphere with simple pleasures like kicking patrons with a broom, while others report game-breaking bugs.
