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 low-commitment idle mining game that feels warm and satisfying to check on between other activities.

What players say

Players use it as a background distraction while working, checking in periodically to open chests and upgrade gear. The pathing was a common complaint, but updates fixed it with row selection and right-click routing, and many note the demo progress carries over. Some find it too one-note, with little change from floor 1 to 1000, and restarting wipes equipment.
