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 nostalgic dig-and-dodge arcade game balancing careful tunneling with sudden monster threats.

About

Digger HD updates the 1980’s PC classic with a next-generation, 21st Century facelift while maintaining classic gameplay. Control the feisty little construction vehicle and burrow its way through the perils of an underground world. Players dig through the dirt horizontally and vertically to create paths, collect jewels and coins, avoid monsters and falling bags of gold in in single and multiplayer modes. Return to Eighties’ arcade roots with the Vintage mode that replicates the original Digger’s old-school vibe. Detailed, high-end graphics and a playful, cutting-edge techno score make Digger HD a retro gaming experience unlike any other.
