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

You play as a candle that can only burn for ten seconds, navigating eerie, shadowy levels where light both helps and hinders your progress.

What players say

Players describe a short and easy puzzle platformer where moving costs your candle's flame. The atmosphere is calm and the story is well told, though some levels provide a reasonable challenge.
