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 real-time puzzle of railway logistics that keeps you constantly weighing risk and reward under time pressure.

What players say
Players compare it to Mini Metro but note the tracks are pre-laid instead of player-drawn. The core challenge is routing passenger trains without crashing into freight trains. Some find it too easy and repetitive across the 20 maps, while others enjoy the real station names and simple mouse-only controls. Development responsiveness is praised, though some wish for a map editor.
