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

Mining colorful alien planets feels satisfying and laid back, with upgrades making the work faster and more efficient.

What players say

Players call it a short, grindy time waster that is fun in short bursts but repetitive. The PC port has bugs and some achievements are broken, and the DLC adds little. Players are split on recommending it at full price.
