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 peaceful, methodical city-building and train management sim where you shape a 3D landscape and watch it come to life at your own pace.

What players say

Players are split: new players find the lack of tutorials and tiny text frustrating, while series veterans praise the stable performance and real train models, though they note the train selection is narrower than in A-Train 9 and the 3D visuals show their age.
