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

You pilot a specialized robot through a shifting, supernatural mineshaft, breaking ores and fending off cave inhabitants with a multipurpose pickaxe.

What players say

Players say Below Surface is a short horror mining game with 6 levels. It combines mining with a sliding mechanic and introduces new anomalies each level. Death screens are spooky, and the game is hard but offers an option to bypass progression. Some players find difficulty frustrating.
