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 methodical and tense game about optimizing a complex production line, where every decision impacts efficiency and profit.

What players say

Players praise the car factory simulation concept but are frustrated that development stopped in 2020. The UI is widely criticized as clunky and the learning curve is steep, though the early-mid gameplay loop is strong. Long-time players split on whether the game is polished or abandoned.
