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 dizzying, overwhelming storm of color and motion that somehow feels both chaotic and calming, with a strange, understated humor.

What players say

Players describe Endlight as a chaotic on-rails shooter where you ram through walls instead of shooting enemies. The game is split into seasons rather than levels and forbids replaying completed ones, with a yearly Right to Replay challenge as the only exception. It draws comparisons to Rez and Space Giraffe for its overwhelming visuals and trippy experience.
