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.

A cheerful mining adventure where you dig for gem people, upgrade gear, and build relationships through light, wholesome interactions.

What players say

Players describe GemCrusty as a mix of Helltaker and mining games, with simple but addictive gameplay that involves heavy button mashing. The final boss is consistently called unexpectedly difficult for a casual-looking game, and long-time players note development has stalled since 2023.
