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 fast-paced puzzle game where you frantically build tracks to keep a runaway goblin train on course through whimsical underground and kingdom landscapes.

What players say

Players compare it to Pipe Dream, noting its charming pixel art and well-written story. The core track-laying mechanic, however, forces pieces in a Tetris-like queue, which some find frustrating. Most call it challenging but rewarding.
