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

Building and managing train networks with a focus on creative problem-solving and efficient resource flow.

What players say

Players praise Railgrade's puzzle-like logistics, where simple A-to-B shipping grows into a web of factories and timers. The campaign gives clear goals, unlike open-ended automation games, but some find the interface clunky and miss train signals found in other sims.
