If you were with us in April of last year, you might recall our mention of the quirky strategy RPG, Isekai Dispatcher. Now, the creative minds behind that retro-inspired 'trapped-in-another-world' game are shifting gears to bring us something more serene and adorable with their latest match-three game, Ash & Snow, set to launch on mobile devices on May 15th.

Ash & Snow delivers the classic match-three experience you'd anticipate. You'll be matching colored blocks to clear them from the board, boosting your score, and occasionally unlocking power-ups to enhance your gameplay and rack up even more points.

The real charm of Ash & Snow lies in its two titular mascots: Ash and Snow. These delightful kittens will accompany you throughout your puzzle-solving journey, appearing either on the main screen or in the top left corner, keeping a watchful eye on your progress.

The game promises to be a well-crafted addition to the match-three genre, especially given its development by an established studio. Yet, in a landscape where match-three games often introduce novel twists, the inclusion of two kittens might seem quaint. However, it's undeniable that feline characters—and more recently, capybaras—have a proven track record of boosting game sales, particularly in the mobile market.

With just a month until Ash & Snow's release and details still emerging, we'll be keeping a close watch for any new information leading up to the launch.
