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 Out of Ore. Some find it an addictive mining sim with great dirt physics and fun multiplayer, while others cite worsening performance, janky controls, a bad tutorial, and unbalanced progression. Long-time players say development has been slow and updates can make things worse.
