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

You freely drive physics-based vehicles and use hand tools to rebuild a town at your own pace, balancing budgets to avoid overextending.

What players say

Players are split on Heavy Works. Some enjoy the realistic machinery and sandbox potential, but many call it more of a demo than a game. Complaints center on clunky controls, invisible walls stopping equipment, a missing tutorial, and progress markers. A few praise an active developer, while others say no updates have come in two years.
