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 slow-paced, meditative dig into the earth where you upgrade gear, uncover secrets, and sell loot at your own pace.

What players say

Players say it is exactly what the title promises: simple, relaxing digging with upgrades and a short story. Most finish in 2 to 4 hours, calling it worth the low price. Some get motion sickness from the first-person underground view. Opinions split on whether the ending and replay value justify the purchase.
