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-paced, meditative sandbox where you dig, build, and automate mining operations with a satisfying sense of progress.

What players say
Players are split sharply on Hydroneer: some find a peaceful sandbox, but most describe it as a frustrating, tedious chore due to the lack of inventory and having to move one item at a time. The item dropping system is widely called broken, and multiple reviewers report save files being randomly wiped even after years of updates.
