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 gentle, tutorial-infused chess match against a playful and encouraging opponent who adapts to your skill level, making each game feel like a cozy lesson rather than a competition.

What players say

Players say this is a simple chess game with an AI lady opponent, but the AI is very strong and you are stuck playing the bongcloud opening. Some find it laggy and note there are no achievements. Players split on the controls: there is no drag-and-drop for pieces. Updates added difficulty levels and fixed a crash bug.
