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, casual driving simulation that focuses on realistic bus operation and navigating a detailed city route with varied daily tasks.

What players say

The game is widely broken on modern systems, players report crashes, menu issues, and a dependency on old software like QuickTime that must be manually fixed. A few still enjoy the driving, but most consider it unplayable without major tinkering.
