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

It feels like a classic arcade mining adventure where you dig, fight, and solve puzzles under time pressure with a friend.

What players say

A Boulderdash-style puzzle game where you collect gems and avoid traps. Players praise the volume of content and level editor, but many report losing their savegames due to unreliable Steam Cloud sync, a complaint that appears repeatedly across reviews.
