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 laid-back, cozy idle game where you relax as your train rolls through colorful landscapes, upgrading and collecting without pressure.

What players say

Players are split on Train Clicker. Some find it a charming grind with fun engineer skills, but many call it abandoned by the developer, with progress-blocking bugs past level 1500 and skills that break the economy. Multiple reviews say it is not truly idle, because upgrades cannot be automated and progression stalls.
