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 tense, competitive race to build the most profitable rail network, where every auction and expansion feels like a high-stakes bluff.

What players say

Players praise the blind auction bidding on train routes as a fresh, competitive twist, calling it cut throat when rivals steal your passengers. Reviews split on single player, some find AI matches less interesting than multiplayer, and a few want longer matches or more complexity.
