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 design and refine automated assembly lines in a first-person 3D sandbox, balancing logical problem-solving with the satisfaction of incremental optimization.

What players say

Players solve puzzles and then return to optimize for parts, footprint, or cycle time. The 3D automation puzzles are hard, especially the final levels, and can involve trial-and-error timing, but the engineering satisfaction and surprisingly good story keep players engaged for dozens to hundreds of hours.
