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 plan, optimize, and watch a robot-staffed factory hum along, balancing upgrades and production lines in a methodical, low-stakes loop.

What players say

Players say Smart Factory Tycoon starts engaging but quickly becomes repetitive and grindy. It heavily copies Little Big Workshop without meaningful updates, has a cumbersome room system and poor UI, and lacks quality-of-life features. Many report no new development for years, so the game feels abandoned.
