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

You navigate glowing mazes with intuitive color-shifting, solving puzzles in a calm yet focused rhythm set to atmospheric music.

What players say

Players are split on Luxis. Some find it a simple, relaxing color-switching maze puzzler with a clean aesthetic, while others call it a barebones Unity asset flip with a bad camera and no atmosphere. Critics say the gameplay is too basic and stale, and the price is too high for what you get.
