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 leisurely chess match set in stylized Viking landscapes, with a calm soundtrack and modest unlockable content.

What players say

Players are split on quality. Some enjoy the viking theme and unlockable skins, but many more report that the game is a cheap asset flip with broken chess rules, crashes on checkmate, and inverted AI difficulty where novice can be harder than intermediate.
