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 compact, puzzle-like factory builder where you optimize production lines in tight spaces, guided by a quiet lore-rich world.

What players say
Players describe Crystal: Automaton as a short but addictive automation puzzle game, often finished in 2 to 6 hours. A unique selling point is the InfiniBox, a space-saving mechanic that some wish was more central. The game is praised as a gentle entry point for newcomers to the genre, though experienced players may find it simple and wish for more content or replayability.
