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 patient, satisfying process of stripping down rusty buses and rebuilding them into something charming and functional.

What players say

Players compare it to House Flipper but find it shallower, with fewer customization options like fixed bus layouts, limited furniture, and the inability to build walls freely. Some praise the themed buses and relaxing gameplay, while others cite missing controller support and a lack of content as drawbacks.
