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 describe Rift Miner as a highly addictive roguelite where you mine resources against a timer, racing to find the exit before losing everything. They praise the satisfying progression loop and varied upgrade options like bombs and drones, though some note the skill tree becomes repetitive after unlocking several elements.
