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 and methodical simulation of building and managing a railway and city growth, with a focus on the satisfying progression from empty tracks to dense metropolitan vistas.

About

The evolved scenery depicts a new city. The railroad connects cities and transports people. In connected cities, people gather, and the cities grow even larger… In A-Train 9, you can realistically experience the joy of urban development. A-Train 9 Evolution is not a mere port of A-Train 9—the user interface and graphics have been completely revamped. Furthermore, the addition of new buildings, including greenery-covered buildings, allows for modern urban vistas.
