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 slow, contemplative walk through a fading world, where the visuals dim alongside the protagonist's sight, evoking quiet sorrow and gentle warmth.

What players say

Players describe The Last Light as a dark, atmospheric indie where you mostly run through memories. Many compare it to Alan Wake for its gloom and mystery, but note that the gameplay is very simple and, paired with some bugs and a high price, it only clicks with the right mood: it can be depressing, not a pick-me-up.
