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 slow-paced, methodical sandbox where you build tracks and drive physically simulated vehicles to deliver goods and earn money.

What players say

Players praise the bouncy physics and huge maps, but split on whether the game has grown enough since early access. The developer communicates well, updates are infrequent and small, and track laying is painfully slow.
