Tail as Old as Time

Tail as Old as Time

An exploration-driven puzzle game where you play as a curious cat uncovering the secrets of an ancient temple. True to a cat’s nature, there are no instructions or waypoints—only the world itself to guide you. Every puzzle, every hidden path, and every strange mechanism invites you to observe, experiment, and intuit your way forward. What does that glowing symbol mean? Why does that stone shift when you step on it? Discovery is its own reward, as you slowly unravel the mystery surrounding the arcane sculpture at the heart of the temple.

Developer's words:

I created this game to showcase the toon shader I developed over the summer of 2024 using HLSL, after experimenting with various lighting models (repo here). I felt that the toon shader would truly bring the game's magic to life, so I built this project around it. Hope you all enjoy it!
