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.

What players say

Players are split on Bus Bound. Controller users find it a relaxing, light arcade drive with a pleasant city that evolves as you play. Wheel users almost universally report broken support, and keyboard players complain about an over-sensitive harsh braking penalty. Many say it lacks the depth and replay value of Bus Simulator 21, with progression that runs out of things to do.
