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
You get to calmly shape a city from scratch with classic simulation freedom and a gentle, no-pressure pace.

What players say
Players overwhelmingly describe the game as abandoned, with no updates since early 2022. It had promising ideas and a unique county-scale map, but performance is poor, crashes are common, and save files often break. The code was made open source, so several reviewers say not to pay for something you can compile for free.
