Catyph - Bonus Content Pack
In Catyph, you find yourself in the year 2027, in the middle of the Solar System, far away from Earth. You are a scientist who was sent to this planet to explore the structure of the nearby planet. But when you enter into the abandoned spaceship, you feel something is wrong.
You find yourself in a dangerous situation, where you have to think on your own and act quickly in the space of an abandoned ship. The thing is that you are on the planet beyond the reach of the human civilization.
In this particular case, you don’t have the security of a computer you could rely on, you can’t ask for help, and you don’t have the possibility of using your gun…
And the worst is that the nearest human civilization is on Mercury, but you’re on Venus, a planet that is even hotter than Mercury.
You must make sense of the situation, solve logical puzzles, and learn the language of the planet.
In Catyph, you move from room to room, from floor to floor, in the abandoned spaceship. You are exploring the different spaces of the ship and discovering the story behind their abandonment. Sometimes, you find artifacts that add more details to this story.
The goal of the game is to find a way out of the spaceship, but it’s all in your own hands.
There are many hours of gameplay, with more than 35 possible routes to explore.
You will learn the language of the planet and with it you will be able to speak to the crew and find different objects in the ship.
You will also be discovering the evolution of the planet and find more object to move forward, while you will solve various puzzles.
The music and the soundtrack were composed by Karreo, who has a musical background with opera and theater.
Play Catyph to explore the abandoned spaceship and discover the secrets of the planet, and enjoy this musical homage to Dirk Gently!

The game was originally inspired by Myst, but evolved to a point and click adventure game, with a big focus on detail, immersion and atmosphere.
Early screenshots and artworks appeared on the SuperNova Tumblr blog: 
The game was designed and programmed by Alexandre Kouraglian (aka auro).
The audio track was composed by Karreo (aka auro), and brought with him the ideas of using music as a driving force to the player.
The original soundtrack was published on artistlisten.
He also did the game cover and the soundtrack of the opening film.
For me, if you have watched the “making of…”, I think it would be very interesting to see the making of a rough first prototype of this game, either with references to something similar to the game, or something that even has a MESS going on.
But then again, who’d ever think that the early prototype could be so well made!

Mysta is likely the most famous of the Myst series, and it was often referenced as a direct inspiration. I’m guessing you want a followup to that?
In any case, I can’t recommend enough the “Making of…” videos that have been put up since its release. They’re some of the best videos of indie game development I’ve ever seen, and they are a sight to behold.
Hello, I'm sorry this took so long. I was watching a The Sims Movie when this became available. I've never played a Myst game before, but I've been watching the "Making of..." videos and while reading your description of the game, it sounds like it has a lot of the same elements that Myst had. I'm happy to play a game with that kind of feel, but this is new territory for me.
Is it possible you have another creator added to your credits in that link? I know I saw something like that.
Thanks for the kind words. I’m so proud of the little game I made. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it.
Never played Myst, really…but after reading all these entries I’m sure I’ll play it sooner or later, the way I play Haunting Ground, Amnesia, and others…since these are the kind of
