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 slow, methodical dig into the unknown, where each shovelful of dirt carries a quiet tension and the promise of hidden treasure.

About

Start digging and miracles will happen. You have no idea what could be under your lawn. Everything you find can be sold and used to upgrade your tools or buy new equipment to help you dig faster and find more. Can you reach the true depths?
