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 tense, lonely experience of surviving in a collapsed mine, with only a faint green glow pushing back against an ominous, claustrophobic darkness.

What players say

Players consistently call Dark Mine extremely short, finishing in about 20 minutes. The stealth is simple and the monster easy to avoid, but the atmosphere and jumpscares work. Players split on value: some wish it were longer, others find it a solid quick horror experience.
