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 bright, neon-infused puzzle-platformer where you solve mind-bending challenges in a relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere, alone or with friends.

What players say

Players describe Perplex as an addicting puzzle game that can be both chill and challenging, with a neon aesthetic and music that creates a strong atmosphere. It runs well on low-end computers, and while co-op and PvP are praised, players note the lack of a Steam friend invite system and some wish for an undo button.
