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
Mining feels like a calm, meditative loop of digging, collecting, and upgrading in your own cosy underground world.

What players say
Players fondly remember this from Xbox Live Arcade, calling it a faithful port that recreates the original. The core loop is simple mining and upgrading, but reviewers note two specific frustrations: a shrinking light that makes you return to the surface, and falling rocks that kill you and delete your inventory. Some say progression is slow, though longtime fans find it charming.
