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 deeply methodical and punishing city-building experience where you meticulously orchestrate every resource and service under the rigid logic of a planned economy.

What players say

Players praise the unmatched depth of production chains and logistics, calling it the most realistic city builder available. Many note the steep learning curve, especially with train routing and realistic mode, but find the systems rewarding. Some complain the interface fights them and that citizens remain too abstract.
