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
Players manage a mining colony in space, balancing resource extraction and base defense under pressure of climate collapse.

What players say
Players compare Drill Core to Dome Keeper and Wall World but with worker management instead of a single unit. The day-night loop of mining and defending is praised, though many note it gets grindy and slow at higher difficulties. Late-game performance problems and bugs, like workers ignoring minerals or turrets failing, are also commonly reported.
