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 methodical and absorbing sandbox where you build, drive, and explore realistic train routes at your own pace.

What players say

Players praise the surveyor mode and the game's realism, but repeatedly call out severe performance problems that struggle even on capable hardware. Multiplayer suffers from desync, and the heavy reliance on DLC and asset transfer errors frustrate long-time users.
