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

Exploring a snowy wilderness guided by a cryptic radio voice while fighting manifestations of fear in a fast-paced pixel-art platformer.

What players say

Players describe Cold Silence as a difficult platformer with a unique radio mechanic that creates temporary platforms. The game mixes exploration and puzzles, but navigation is confusing and checkpoints are few. Its stark white-and-blue pixel art and 8-bit sound divide opinion: some find it atmospheric, others find it visually monotonous.
