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 methodical open-world puzzle game where you slowly expand your supply routes across Japan's islands, feeling like a calm logistical planner.

What players say

Players say this is a purely logistical puzzle with no route optimization, not a Transport Tycoon-like sim. It starts slow with only one source and hundreds of roads to repair, forcing long hauls before finding new supply towns. Some find this tedious, others call it addictive alongside TV or movies.
