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 and strategic free-for-all where chess pieces clash in a battle royale with no player limit, demanding quick thinking and adaptability.

What players say
Players like the idea of live-action chess with tiny armies but find the controls buggy and the AI too easy. Reviews split on whether it is worth playing now, though most agree the concept has potential if development continues.
