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 short, story-driven mining adventure that balances relaxing excavation with darkly humorous underground survival.

What players say

Players enjoy the short 2-3 hour adventure, cute pixel art, and humorous, offbeat dialogue. Many find the mining mini-game initially difficult and the daily expenses harsh, with some saying the trolley travel sections wear out their welcome.
