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

You design and tinker with simple block interactions to gradually build sprawling automated factories and vehicles at your own pace.

What players say

Players compare Roody:2d to Factorio and Infinifactory, calling it a puzzle-automation hybrid where the challenge is spatial layout rather than throughput. They praise the satisfying contraptions and slow tech tree progression, but some note performance issues at high resolutions and debate whether recent chest additions undermine the core space-management puzzle.
