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.

What players say

Players praise the classic A-Train simulation depth and 2D style, but many report crashes and freezes that can erase hours of progress since there is no autosave. The tutorials take 12-16 hours. It runs on very low-end hardware, and long-time fans consider it a faithful port of the 3DS version.
