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 manage a monster-staffed factory, clicking and upgrading your way to an industrial empire with a sarcastic assistant by your side.

What players say

Players praise the developer's fast bug fixes and community engagement on Discord, but note the early access state is rough with performance problems in the lategame. The tutorial featuring a goblin guide and chill, slow-starting automation loop keep players hooked despite some softlocks.
