Catyph: The Kunci Experiment PC

Explore the moon Tytaah in this point-and-click adventure set in 2062, where Terran explorers investigate a mysterious Black Cube's technology amid solar system quests for intelligent life. Players collect data across seven regions like deserts, snowfields, alien forests, and mercury seas, using observation to solve logical puzzles and uncover the Kunci's secrets. Navigate with hotspots-blue circles for actions, arrows for movement and views, and dots for 180-degree turns-while taking notes on paper. This indie action adventure delivers around 15 hours of prerendered 3D exploration with over 800 transition videos, reminiscent of Myst and Rhem. Play in HD at 1920x800 on PC, with difficulty options like Normal, Hard, Story, or Classic, plus helpful hotspot icons. Fans of discovery-driven point-and-click puzzles will enjoy piecing together the immersive story alongside General Lantier.

About

"In 2062, Men from Terra have access to a new technology from a mysterious Black Cube they found 5 years before. With this new power, they decide to explore their solar system, in search for signs of intelligent life. They send you at the discovery of planet Catyph and its moon Tytaah." CATYPH: The Kunci Experiment is Another Space Adventure reminiscent of Myst and Rhem, and you can absolutely play it without knowing anything about the first Black Cube game, ASA. With the help of the data that you collect on Tytaah, you must attempt to access the 7 regions of this moon. Your main mission: understand what the Kunci is. The whole game relies on observation, discovery and exploration.

CATYPH is an independant and self-funded game, mainly created by one person. It has been envisaged as an experience, an interactive story based on exploration and logical puzzles. This prerendered 3D game is made of static pictures with video transitions.
