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 frantic, cartoony time-management game where you juggle serving picky customers, cleaning spills, and unlocking upgrades under constant pressure.

What players say

Players describe it as a fast-paced bartending game with a well-balanced difficulty curve and humorous dialogue. Many praise the gradual introduction of new tasks like washing glasses and managing beer types, though some find the later levels too hectic. A few note bugs with save files and a difficulty toggle that doesn't appear.
