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 methodical logic puzzle game where you assemble track systems to guide a train, feeling like a digital sandbox for engineering-minded problem solvers.

What players say

Players say this is a deceptively tough railway puzzle game, more hardcore than Station to Station. The childlike art style is praised, but many struggle with stuttery controls when placing tracks and poor camera movement. Some also report bugs with tile placement and find calculating angles tedious by chapter 2.
