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.

A lively and charming tea-serving simulation where you manage a stall in a bustling market with quick, precise preparation.

What players say

Players praise the game's Middle Eastern cultural setting, charming art, and relaxing pace, but note it is short (under 5 hours), repetitive, and has bugs in later chapters. Some find the controls a bit awkward.
