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 cheerful, low-pressure click-to-build adventure about laying tracks and trading goods in a bright cartoon frontier.

What players say

Players praise the train-switching and worker-allocation mechanics as a fresh take on time management, but note the levels can get repetitive. The graphics are cute, though some report stuttering issues on Windows 11. There are three difficulty modes and hidden owl collectibles that some find pointless.
