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 match-3 puzzle game with a wink-wink sense of risk and a light archaeological adventure theme.

What players say

Players like the twist on classic match-3 but are frustrated by breaking bugs and a harsh lives system. The physics cause balls to get stuck or levels to freeze, forcing resets. A few levels seem impossible. No continues means a game over sends you back to level 1, which many find punishing.
