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

You sit in the engineer's seat, carefully balancing brake pressure and speed while smooth passenger and freight services roll through detailed, real-world routes.

What players say

Players say it is a slow, realistic simulator for train enthusiasts, with some noting the Unreal Engine 4 visuals stand out. A few wish for more control depth, calling it simpler than other train sims.
