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
Laying tracks and scheduling routes in a tidy, top-down 2D sandbox feels like solving a relaxing logistical puzzle with board game efficiency.

What players say
Players are split on this minimalist train management game. Fans praise it as a relaxing, puzzle-like take on OpenTTD with clever resource restrictions and responsive developers, but detractors say it feels like a prototype with performance problems, unclear UI, and frustrating city growth mechanics.
