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, creative sandbox where you design and customize a miniature world of trains and infrastructure at your own pace.

What players say

Players describe a cozy model train fantasy that delivers on watching trains run, but building is frustrating and track placement bugs are common. The career mode offers structure but becomes repetitive, and some find the graphics demanding for what they see as ugly models.
