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 hands-off mining game where you watch your pickaxe automatically break blocks and steadily grow more powerful at your own pace.

What players say

Players say Idle DeepMiner is a short, polished idle game with steady progression and a definite ending. Many finish in under 4 hours, and there is no prestige system or new game plus. Reviews agree content feels too limited for the asking price, but the pacing and visuals keep it satisfying while it lasts.
