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 darkly comedic descent into a procedurally generated surreal hellscape where props hunt you and you can eat bizarre items.

What players say

Players describe Golden Light as a bizarre, fleshy fever dream that can be headache-inducing. Many love its unique atmosphere but report bugs, especially in multiplayer where traps are invisible to clients. Getting all achievements is tedious, requiring 500 floors on one save file.
