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 lively, humorous take on traditional Chinese chess where animated pieces fight in slapstick battles.

What players say

Players are split: the charming, quirky battle animations and nostalgic value appeal to some, while others report game-breaking bugs and a missing Chinese chess rule where kings may not face each other unchecked.
