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 deliberate and methodical simulation where you manage resources and build infrastructure at a measured pace.

What players say

Players praise the depth of railway-focused city building but warn about a steep learning curve and a user interface clearly designed for Switch that feels clunky with mouse and keyboard. Many report bugs in train scheduling and random crashes, and long-time players note development has stalled with no updates for over a year, though those who love the formula find it uniquely rewarding.
