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.

What players say

Players call it a simple puzzle game where you guide trains to collect stars on a virtual model train table, not a simulation. Opinions split on the controls: some find them clunky and unresponsive, especially the table rotation and cursor aiming, while others tolerate them. Many wish for a sandbox mode or more movement options.
