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.

About

The town of Pilcano. Once a bustling, vibrant town full of new ideas and people. This is your home. The expensive and glorious train, The Greyhound, chugged gracefully up the hilly backdrop you know as The Pass. All this, however, was long ago, before you were born, when your Grandfather was a young boy. Over the years, The Greyhound's journeys became shorter, and eventually ceased on the night of your birth. This is the story of that great steam train's rebirth... The Train is a narrative-driven, comedic game featuring light puzzle elements for the GameBoy! You play as Eve as she helps her grandad reconnect the villages of the island they live on using a long out-of-service locomotive called The Greyhound, meeting friends and making discoveries along the way.
