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 calm and methodical track-laying puzzle that lets you shape flowing railways with simple tile-based controls.

What players say

Players say this is a puzzle game in train clothing, not a sim, where routing uses signals and if-then logic. Fans of OpenTTD and Railway Empire find it a lighter, efficient challenge with small levels. Some criticize the AI art, and reviews are split on the learning curve: a few call the UI poor, but others feel controls are intuitive.
