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 carefully balance resource chains and expand your factory while fending off collapse, each new machine a small victory against scarcity.

What players say

Players praise the deep and grounded factory automation, but many are furious over a paid gameplay DLC released while the game is still in early access. The community is split between those who call it one of the best in the genre and those who consider the DLC practice a dealbreaker.
