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, narrative-driven stealth experience as you and your brother sneak through a barren, garbage-strewn wasteland to reach the last water source.

What players say

Players say ColdSun is a brief, visually striking student-made stealth game with an atmospheric post-apocalyptic world. It is very short, around 30 minutes, but lacks saves and options menus, and players frequently report getting stuck on terrain geometry. Controls feel bad with mouse and keyboard, and the game has almost no sound during gameplay.
