✨ Welcome to Catix — A Cozy Indie Startup from Switzerland ✨
Mew meow and magical greetings! You've just wandered into the official blog of Catix, a fresh-faced indie startup based in Switzerland — where puzzles meet pixels, and every scene is hand-crafted with love (and occasional mischief).
Founded (allegedly) by two fluffy minds — Grand Star and Yeti — Catix is a tiny studio crafting magical experiences for players who love cozy adventures, clever puzzles, and games that feel like stepping into a living storybook.
Whether you're curious about indie game development, love a good point-and-click mystery, or just enjoy a touch of magic with your morning coffee — you're in the right place.
Grand Star is Rising: A Magical Puzzle Adventure Coming Soon
After months of dev work and hand-painted scenes, Grand Star, our first title, is nearly ready to shine. It's a story-driven puzzle adventure set in an enchanted forest, inspired by our love for mystery, exploration, and cozy-but-clever gameplay.
You'll step into the paws of Nova, a snow leopard cub, who must explore, restore, and solve her way through a world unraveling at the edges. Discover magic and cast spells, match items, search for hidden objects, and interact with the world in surprising ways — shake, rotate, and uncover secrets hidden in nature itself.
What begins as a simple quest slowly reveals a cosmic mystery.
Can you help Nova reconnect the broken threads of magic, aid the creatures in need, and uncover the truth behind the stars?
