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 soothing yet mentally demanding experience where you rely on memory and deduction to solve chess puzzles on a blank board.

What players say
Players split on this one. Many enjoy the memory exercise of playing chess without seeing the board and find the music relaxing. But just as many complain that puzzles have impossible starting positions or only accept one forced solution, with bugs reported as late as level 149.
