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 hypnotic audiovisual experience where simple inputs ripple into ever-shifting painted soundscapes.

About
Kaleidoscope consists of level-paintings, which differ in style and behavior, yet are controlled in a similar fashion with the help of just four buttons. The simplicity of the controls is overcompensated by the rich audio/visual experience presented within the game. Player’s responses to a constantly changing environment shall have an impact on both image and audio. This creates an illusion of a player being simultaneously a painter of the current image and a composer of the music heard. In addition to that, each level in Kaleidoscope has a clear defined goal, which opens up doors of an infinite synaesthesia world to the masses.
