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 contemplative, shadow-puppet journey through a grey world, where you gently overcome internal struggles to find small moments of joy.

What players say
Players praise Light & Shadow as a short, relaxing platformer with beautiful music and a striking shadow puppet art style. Its mental health themes about anxiety and depression resonate, but some find the gameplay repetitive, with too much time spent collecting music notes and little challenge.
