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

You drive a massive train through a dying world, balancing scarce resources and tense gunfights against the difficult moral choice of helping survivors or leaving them behind.

What players say

Players praise the pixel art, atmosphere and story, but the campaign is very short and ends abruptly. The train sections split opinion: some find the passenger and repair minigames tedious, while others enjoy the resource management loop. The developer has released no updates or new games since 2016.
