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 control a two-person mining team pushing a trolley to catch gold nuggets while friendly helpers provide support in a light, repetitive cooperative loop.

What players say

Players overwhelmingly call it a poorly made game with slippery controls and heavy reliance on random chance. The few positive notes mention its educational value and an Arkanoid-like structure with timed levels and obstacles, but even those players say it needs tuning.
