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

Carefully brushing away dirt to uncover buried objects feels slow, deliberate, and satisfying.

What players say

Players widely call this an asset flip, reporting it reuses a Unity store pack and a basic digging template. A few enjoy the simple frozen excavation, but most say it has almost no content and is overpriced.
