Игра "The Cat and the Box" — это минималистичный и остроумный философский пазл. Управляя любопытным котом, вы сталкиваетесь с парадоксами квантовой механики, решая головоломки с состоянием суперпозиции. Гениально просто и затягивающе!

Really eerie and unsettling game, even with the ASCII graphics! I do have some reservations about recommending this, most notably there are times where the game throws huge difficulty spikes at you and the movement feels sluggish. BUT this game does offer a really unique visual experience, and has lots to do for a free game. So kudos to the solo dev for pulling something like this off!

Very cool artstyle, interesting world, confusing but intriguing story. Definitely worth a play.
