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 tense, lonely survival crawl through barren tunnels where every swing of a pickaxe feels like a fight for mankind's last breath.

What players say
Players describe it as a lighter Core Keeper with monster girl companions and a surprising narrative, but the game is unfinished: the roadmap was abandoned, bugs are common, automation is clunky, and the sound stacking on loot or combat is jarring. Reviews split on whether the low sale price justifies the rough state.
