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 grim fantasy chess-like strategy game where each capture transforms your forces into undead, forcing careful asymmetric tactics through a story-driven campaign.

What players say
Players praise the fresh zombie twist on chess where captured pieces turn. The campaign is short but has high-quality cutscenes and voice acting. Some find the AI too easy for experienced chess players, and a few report a bug where levels don't advance without replaying.
