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 tense but whimsical chess-like duel where a taunting, cheating troll forces you to learn absurd rule changes while accusing him of foul play.

What players say

Players describe a short, cheap game that twists chess into something trollish and challenging. They mention a cheating mechanic and split on difficulty, finding the 'good' ending notably harder than the first hour-long 'bad' ending.
