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

Feels like calmly orchestrating a sprawling transit network, watching vehicles move goods and people as you steadily unlock upgrades and expand your empire.

What players say

Players compare this to Transport Tycoon but warn the game is abandoned with no updates since 2021. Bugs like vehicles getting stuck and unresponsive depots are common, and a mid-game production bug can make it unplayable. Some see promise in the power system and research, but recommend OpenTTD instead.
