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 laid-back digging adventure with a dwarven theme, focused on relaxed exploration and discovery.

What players say

Players find the digging loop addictive and relaxing, with the auto-dig and grappling hook adding ease. The game is short, around 3 to 10 hours, and players note it lacks personality to stand out from other digging games. Community praises the responsive developer but some feel progression maxes out fast.
