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, deeply realistic driving experience that shifts from a relaxed cruise to tense, schedule-driven coordination with others

What players say

Players say LOTUS-Simulator has been abandoned in early access since 2022 with no patches or bugfixes. The game crashes frequently, performance is poor even on strong hardware, and multiplayer servers have been down for a long time, making parts unplayable. A few note the tram physics and sounds show promise, but almost all agree the asking price for a broken, incomplete project is not worth it.
