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 gentle, spooky-themed puzzle game where you calmly lay tracks for cute undead passengers across many levels.

What players say

Players call it a worthy successor to Cosmic Express, with new mechanics like passenger interactions that set it apart. The difficulty curve is praised as just right, though some find the later puzzles very hard. The branching level select lets you skip stumping puzzles. A few report the game does not work on older Macs.
