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 slow-burn, technical sandbox where you meticulously plan and lay train routes across a real-world map, feeling like a transit planner rather than a game character.

What players say
Players who love hands-on rail design find deep satisfaction, but the lack of tutorials and unintuitive controls push many away. Long-time users praise the freedom to build anywhere, while others are frustrated by crashes and that you must lay every piece of track manually.
