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 describe KnightLight as a charming but very short platformer built around a lighting mechanic, often calling it a demo or student project. While many enjoy its personality and hidden jokes, some note bugs and lag even on high-end hardware.
