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 slow, dreamy drift through impossible geometry and cosmic unease, where the world bends around you as you walk an inevitable path.

What players say

Players praise Hypnos for its stunning art direction and atmosphere, with more color than its predecessor Blackshard. It is a walking simulator with no combat and cosmic horror themes, but some find the navigation frustrating. Reviews note the game is shorter than Blackshard.
