- Catyph: Light Edition + Kitrinos both available - 23 July 2018
Hi! I've spent a terrible lot of time on the Black Cube series since the beginning of the year, but I think it was really worth it. First of all, for the 2 years anniversary of the release of Catyph, I have recreated the game. Please welcome Catyph: Light Edition a kind of director's cut or remastered, with many small but interesting changes. I hope you'll like it, I've put a lot of efforts into it. The good news is it's completely free and should appear in the form of an automatic update. A new Launcher will allow you to choose between the Light or Original Editions of the game. Please be careful when you choose that your previous saves will not be compatible between the 2 versions. I've spent a lot of time on Catyph Light Edition and have involved some good friends in testing. However it remains a game developed by a single person and beta-tested by only a very small team, and as a re…

Hi everyone! Catyph: Light Edition is finished and currently in private Beta Test. If everything goes well, this modified version will be available somewhere in July. You can still see the list of changes here: https://adventuregamers.com/forums/viewthread/10772/ Catyph LE will be free if you already purchased the original game and should be downloaded as an automatic update as soon as it is released.

Yes as I said it will be free!

The game makes g…

Hello everyone! The Black Cube series continues to expand: after ASA, Catyph, Boïnihi (soon), Blue Moon (in development), and the Anterran comics, now I am working on another project of 1st person adventure game named RealMyha. For the first time in the series, I am not creating it on my own, and moreover it will be in full3d. Powered with Unreal Engine, RealMyha is being actively developed with Denis Martin, who was behind a beautiful game named RoonSehv (a fan sequel to Myst). About RealMyha: RealMyha is the complete remake of Myha, a game that was originally created in 10 days during the Myst Game Jam on itch.io in january 2016 (link). Our team is composed of 3 people: I am working with the developer of RoonSehv with their music composer. We’re trying to take advantage of our different but complementary skills, in order to work together on this new project. I must say that it’s very…

- Final version and Price drop - 23 September 2016
Hello everyone, I would like to warmly thank those of you who supported my work by purchasing Catyph and/or ASA. It really, really encourages me continuously when I see day after day that there are several passionate people all around the world who still enjoy 2D Myst-like games. Thank you!! As you know I have put a lot of efforts during the 2 years of development of Catyph, trying to please both the fans of the original Myst games and the fans of ASA. I know that some of the features in Catyph may be surprising (in the wrong way I mean - such as the Blue Matter System) but it's also part of the job of a developer to try new things. We don't want all the games to be identical! Other things could have been improved (gameplay/navigation), but I think it's important not to give up at the beginning of the game. The region of Kynan (that you can try in the playable demo) is far from being th…

- Walkthrough available - 9 June 2016
Hello dear adventurers! I realize that Catyph is very challenging and that many of you might be stuck. Honestly I don't know, and I must apologize for the lack of feedback and support, because I had lost my internet access for 3 weeks because of a storm. So I couldn't come here and follow the discussions, sorry... But I'm back, and I bring good news: while I was offline, I wrote a complete walkthrough of the game! You can find it here on Steam: http://steamcommunity.com/app/396870/discussions/0/350533172683734130/ Enjoy!
