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 hectic but heartwarming food-truck simulation where you manage resources against a ticking clock, serving 'almost' authentic dishes while pursuing a personal immigration goal.

What players say

Players praise the heartfelt story about a refugee's journey, told through clever details like newspaper articles and intentionally broken English. The game is short, around 3 hours, with simple cooking mechanics that serve the narrative. Some note bugs with retry buttons and hit detection.
