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 chill, pixelated mining adventure where you dig underground at your own pace, collecting ores and treasure without enemies or time pressure, then craft special drills back on the surface.

What players say

Players describe it as a mining-focused loop where you dig, collect ore, upgrade your drill, and dig deeper, with no combat. The random drill upgrades and grindy achievement hunt split opinions: some love the endless time sink, others find the pace too slow past a certain depth. Blast mining is a highlight, though an update weakened it late in the game.
