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 laid-back, colorful management sim where you design bus routes and grow your transport empire at your own pace.

What players say

Players enjoy building bus routes on real-world maps and managing staff, vehicles, and passenger satisfaction. The game is considered relaxing but can require heavy micro management, and while mod support through Steam Workshop extends its life, some criticize map loading errors and a lack of offline play.
