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 quiet, minimalist clicker where the simple act of digging slowly gives way to a philosophical feeling of inevitability and emptiness.

What players say

Players click to dig a hole in a short, atmospheric game with rain and thunder. Most finish in under ten minutes, but completing all achievements requires multiple playthroughs, which some call tedious.
