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 exploration through alien ruins, where observation and code-deciphering drive a measured, solitary puzzle experience.

What players say

Players say this fifth entry in the Black Cube series is a thoughtful, atmospheric sci-fi adventure with logical puzzles and a beautiful score. Some find the start slow and the controls awkward, and players recommend taking notes.
