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.

What players say

Players are split on Mine Seeker. Some enjoy the 3D maps and find it a refreshing take on Minesweeper, but many criticize the forced guessing on the first move, even on normal difficulty. The layout can start with no safe clicks, making success feel like luck. Others report broken achievements and a cluttered board with a zero tile that adds extra clicking.
