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 casual sandbox where you build and automate potion and metal production lines at a measured, methodical pace.

What players say

Players compare it to Satisfactory and Factorio but say it stands out with its shopkeeping and magic themes. It is addictive for factory game fans, though some find the tutorial lacking and the difficulty spikes after the early game. Opinions split on the conveyor belt logic and performance, with some reporting late-game crashes.
