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
You command a squad of chess pieces in tactical turn-based battles where units auto-attack after movement, requiring careful health management and strategic positioning.

What players say
Players like the mix of chess and dungeon crawling, praising the randomized maps and skills. Some note the queen can solo most encounters, making other pieces feel unnecessary. A few mention achievements are unclear, and non-English speakers report no language barrier as there is no story.
