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 relaxed, dig-and-build adventure underground where you uncover fossils at your own pace with friends.

What players say

Players praise the charming art and relaxing puzzle loop of digging and assembling fossils, especially in local co-op, though the game is repetitive and keyboard controls are poor. The fun comes from creatively piecing bones together, but there is no inventory to organize and only shared-screen multiplayer.
