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

A gentle, unhurried mining journey with a faint sense of mystery, where you dig at your own pace and piece together a story from scattered notes.

What players say

Players are split: some find it a decent cheap time-waster for $3, others call it boring and frustrating. Complaints center on painfully slow progress, constant micro-management from fuel and repairs, and tanky monsters that grind progress to a halt. A few note achievements that require restarting the game.
