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 experience of building and managing a vintage car factory from the ground up, emphasizing resource planning and steady progression.

What players say

Players are split: some celebrate the single developer's return after a long silence, while others still face game-ending crashes and say development is too slow. The simulation feels more like a small workshop than a tycoon, with monthly sales capped and one production line enough.
