The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A casual, grindy match-3 RPG where you build teams of comic heroes and villains for turn-based puzzle combat.

What players say

Players say the match-3 Marvel mashup is genuinely fun, with deep character collection that hooks you for hundreds of hours, but the mobile monetization is aggressive: characters get nerfed shortly after paid vaults close, and there is no cross-play between platforms.
