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, satisfying cycle of brewing custom potions in a warm fantasy shop, where every order feels like a calm puzzle to solve.

What players say

Players praise the relaxing, cozy atmosphere and addictive loop of brewing potions without timers or stress, but some note the camera controls are finicky and the early game can feel too slow with limited ingredient retention. There is no farming or adventuring, just behind-the-counter potion making.
