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

A casual tycoon game about managing a mining operation and growing a virtual currency empire through hardware upgrades and story interactions.

What players say

Players say the game was abandoned early with broken mechanics, particularly an impossible debt that causes a game over. The simulation is shallow, offering no risk and little to do beyond buying rigs and watching numbers go up. There is also a widespread report of the game maxing out CPU and GPU even at the menu, as if it were mining on the player's machine.
