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.

What players say

Players describe Knight's Retreat as a relaxing chess puzzle game with 80 levels. It gradually introduces new mechanics like switches and tandem pieces, but the difficulty can spike. Some players report bugs with the undo function and a few less polished later levels.
