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 slow-burn management game where you carefully build and expand transport networks across a growing world, watching your infrastructure hum as towns evolve into cities and eventually reach into space.

What players say

Players split on Cargo Company: some enjoy it as a casual time sink, but many more warn of severe performance problems like stuttering and framerate drops. Critics say it left early access unfinished, has gone without updates since August 2022, and makes money too easily since supply chains are irrelevant. It is frequently compared to OpenTTD, which runs better and is free.
