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 tense, turn-based chess match where your only piece is a king armed with a shotgun, turning strategic moves into a tactical duel of survival and escalating upgrades.

What players say
Players enjoy the clever blend of chess and roguelike elements, praising the shotgun mechanics, card upgrades, and multiple endings. However, some find it shallow after a few runs, and the achievement hunting is criticized as heavily luck dependent.
