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 chill, laid-back game where you methodically build and expand a factory to launch planets, feeling satisfyingly repetitive and relaxing.

What players say

Players split on Planet Factory: some enjoy a casual 3-5 hour factory builder about creating a universe, while others find the second half repetitive with too much waiting. Multiple players criticize the unclear UI and lack of explanation, and several report performance slowdowns with large builds.
