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 relaxing and colorful puzzle game with light strategic city-building interludes, where you match gems to rebuild and summon friendly gods.

What players say

Players praise this as a polished casual match-3 that mixes tile matching with rebuilding Athens and occasional hidden-object scenes. It is relaxing and easy to follow, though some note the in-game awards stop at 2/3 stars, making it feel incomplete.
