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 tense and methodical tactical roguelite where each move matters against overwhelming odds in a dark fantasy mine.

What players say

Players are split on Forgotten Mines. Some praise its satisfying tactical depth and class variety, but many more condemn a grind-heavy meta progression that makes early wins feel impossible, relentless RNG that can end a run on easy mode, and a poor tutorial. Common complaints include repetitive music and the tedious chore of manual resource gathering each turn.
