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

Digs TD feels like a methodical blend of mining and tower defense where you carefully shape the battlefield turn by turn while exploring procedurally generated caves.

What players say

Players like the idea of digging your own maze, but say it's ruined by random portals that force constant rearrangement. They are split on whether the game is fun after 30 hours, but nearly everyone agrees the $50 price is absurd and even $5 feels too much. Complaints about mobile-style menus and an inability to upgrade towers during a run are common.
