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, gently strategic puzzle game where you methodically build transport networks to meet resource demands in tidy, cute 3D maps.

What players say

Players compare it to Mini Metro with goods instead of passengers, but say it leans on manual clicking and storage balancing rather than strategy. Some praise the chill, charming difficulty, while others call it too repetitive or harsh, with a poor tutorial and UI. Reviews split on whether it is relaxing or frustrating, and a few mention bugs and limited replay value.
