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

Navigating a dark, claustrophobic mine with limited light and resources, balancing risk and reward to gather eggs under a mysterious overseer's watch.

What players say

Players describe a short horror game where you collect eggs in a mine cart over seven days, with jump scares from creatures called greebs that appear suddenly. Some find the loop simple and repetitive after the first few days, while others enjoy the paranoia of managing resources and aggression levels.
