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 calmly build and expand abstract mathematical factories, slowly optimizing belt networks in a minimalist top-down sandbox.

What players say

Players call it a stripped-down Shapez clone focused on crafting numbers, fun for a few hours but lacking comfort features like auto-belt. The math theme clicks for most, though some find it worth only on sale and it is not playable on Steam Deck.
