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 calm, methodical factory-building game where you guide a crew through varied star systems, balancing resource networks with light puzzle challenges.

What players say

A chill logistics puzzle set on tiny planets where pipes cannot cross and the camera fights back. Players say it is more about dismantling old production lines than keeping them running, which the game expects. The art and feel match its Kurzgesagt origin, but those who try traditional endless factory optimization find it messy.
