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 dig steadily deeper with a friendly mech, selling gems for upgrades while gentle pixel visuals keep the mood light, but tougher depths add a modest challenge.

What players say

Players call it a fun, chilled homage to the flash game Motherload, with digging, upgrading mechs, and a silly story. It gets repetitive after a few hours, so many recommend podcasts or playing co-op with up to seven friends. A few complain about a dull grind and a laggy main menu.
