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 gentle, slow-paced puzzle experience where you calmly match buildings on procedurally generated colorful islands with no pressure or resource management.

What players say

Players call Match Village a relaxing tile-matching city builder that blends Islanders with Dorfromantik. There is no tutorial, so progression is discovered through play, but several players warn that similar-looking pieces can mess up your build and that tile counts sometimes make further progress impossible.
