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

You command minions in a decrepit underworld lair, balancing resource logistics and brutal skirmishes to appease a demon ruler.

What players say

Players say Dwelvers is a Dungeon Keeper successor that went quiet for years but is now actively updated again by a solo developer. There is a short campaign, map editor, and multi-level digging. Some players find the control over builders frustrating and report bugs, but most agree the game is no longer abandoned.
