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 to discover planet Catyph and its moon Tytaah."

CATYPH: The Kunci Experiment is Another Space Adventure reminiscent of Myst and Rhem, and you can certainly 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.

An exotic journey

CATYPH is an independant and self-funded game, created by a single person over a period of 2 years with a lot of passion and hope. "I put the best I learned during the creation of ASA into this new project, hoping that it will please the fans of the genre." 
The game even came back in 2018 with a revised version called Catyph: Light Edition.
