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 calm, methodical loop of growing a factory by planning resource flows and optimizing machinery, with a satisfying sense of steady progress.

What players say

Players report the game was abandoned for months and has persistent bugs, including black screens and glitchy dragging. The lack of a tutorial and linear progression make the early game confusing and dull, though some still find the factory-building satisfying for a while.
