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.

What players say

Players describe National Transit as a bare-bones but promising Early Access simulation, with many praising the active developer and a roadmap that looks sweet. The core loop is rewarding for those who enjoy creating their own transport networks, though players note the UI needs quality-of-life updates and some mechanics remain unexplained. At its low price, most find it a steal.
