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 methodical and satisfying experience of optimizing production lines and scaling an automotive factory from scratch.

What players say

Players say the game is fundamentally broken with no tutorial and relentless bugs that halt production for no reason. Late in its life, long after the August 2023 launch, little has improved.
