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 chaotic, fast-paced brawl where chess meets bloody melee combat and decapitations.

What players say

Players are split on Rooks Keep. Some enjoy the chess-inspired arena combat and find it fun with friends, but many call it an unfinished, unoptimized game with a dead online mode and frequent crashes.
