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

You ride an old train and fend off relentless monsters with reinforced weapons in a dark, post-apocalyptic world.

What players say

Players are split on En-Train: some enjoy its unique train-based tower defense and weapon upgrades, but many complain about janky controls, especially ladder climbing, and a grindy feel that makes progression tedious. Bosses require specific items to damage, which is a novel mechanic, and the story offers multiple endings that some found bleak.
