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, story-led match-3 adventure through sunny underwater scenes and light puzzles.

What players say

Players say the match 3 gameplay is solid but dated, with old graphics and weak voice acting. It gets very difficult later on. Players appreciate being able to buy power-ups freely instead of in order. Some call it a mobile tier cash grab, while others find it a decent story driven puzzle game.
