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.

What players say

Players praise the blend of tower defense and mining, calling it a challenging deckbuilding roguelite that encourages 'one more run' thinking. The dwarf theme and humor add charm, though some find the constant rebuilding tedious and note repair crews move slowly.
