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 methodical puzzle game where you carefully connect circuits to light up boards, with a calm, tidy feel and occasional tense moments from short circuits.

What players say

Players describe Lighton as a deceptively tough sokoban game where you connect electrical circuits to light bulbs. Many stress it is far from casual, with only 8% of players finishing it and the difficulty ramping hard around level 30. The one-move undo forces careful planning, though a few found the multiple-bulb puzzles introduced too quickly.
