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 cute, cozy drop-and-merge puzzle where you assemble adorable foods in a relaxing atmosphere.

What players say

The game is a Suika-like merge puzzle with roguelike item systems, offering many modes including one with gravitational pull. Players appreciate the variety and item-driven chaos, though some note janky physics and, as of early 2026, a low player count that creates a sense of loneliness.
