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
building and optimizing a sprawling factory from scratch that grows from handcrafting to massive automated systems under constant pressure from hostile aliens

What players say
Players describe Factorio as the gold standard of factory automation, so addictive it can ruin sleep and work schedules. They praise its deep optimization loops and extensive mod support, but warn that the game triggers hyperfocus and time blindness. A minority disputes the lack of sales and the addition of DLC achievements to the base game.
