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 calm and immersive train-driving simulation that prioritizes realistic controls and the serene pleasure of navigating a scenic route in various weather conditions.

What players say

Players praise the real-life video footage of the Brighton Main Line, but are nearly unanimous that the lack of a tutorial or guide makes it nearly unplayable without external notes. Controls rely on keyboard combinations like Ins/Del for gears, with no in-game menu to find them.
