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
A methodical descent through procedurally generated underground caverns, balancing mining, upgrades, and the quiet tension of being stranded on an alien world.

What players say
Players describe it as a nostalgic homage to the flash game Motherload, but nearly all agree it is too short and too expensive for what it offers. The core dig-and-upgrade loop is satisfying but runs out of new content in about two hours, leaving only grinding for achievements. Many also note the lack of basic settings like resolution and key rebinding.
