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 sit back and let the credits trickle in, unlocking cute pets and upgrades to the gentle hum of relaxing ambient sounds.

What players say

Players are split on Micro Miners. Some call it a boring, mindless number-incrementer with a punishing energy mechanic that resets progress, while a few find it amusing. The consensus is that it is too slow at first and lacks clear goals or content.
