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 frantic, physics-driven shooter where precise parkour and grappling-hook mastery are key to aggressive combat against statues in a colorful, retro sci-fi world.

What players say

Players are split on World of Unlit. Some praise its unique grappling hook movement and fast pacing when you learn to keep moving, but many others say enemies are too accurate and deal too much damage, forcing you to hide instead of fly. There is no checkpoint system and healing is unclear, which frustrates those who want to play aggressively.
