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 fast-paced digging and crafting platformer where you descend through procedural caves, gathering resources and making explosives to overcome escalating hardcore challenges.

What players say

Players describe it as a mix of Downwell and Dig Dug, with procedural levels and a ceiling that forces constant digging. It is addictive but difficult, with no permanent progression between runs, which some see as a missed opportunity for roguelite elements.
