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 challenging logic puzzle where you build conveyor systems to route colored boxes, rewarding careful planning and systematic thinking.

What players say
Players describe Great Permutator as a punishingly hard puzzle game that starts difficult and stays difficult, with little ramp up. Some praise its brain-teasing conveyor challenges and note it predates factory games like Factorio, while others find the lack of difficulty curve frustrating. A few report the developer ignoring crash bugs, and the interface is considered dated.
