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 say Bus Manager 26 is an intriguing concept ruined by bugs that make the economy impossible, like passengers never alighting and routes that refuse to form correctly. The map and clean interface get praise, but most agree the game is barely playable in its current state.
