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 tense, punishing platformer where light is lethal and blending into shadows is your only defense.

About

Scorching Light is a horror-action-platformer game with puzzle elements. Any light enemy, item or liquid will kill the protagonist. The core mechanic of my game is that you can hide from the light enemies by blending into the environment.
