The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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 retro, minimalist chess tutor that blends dry humor with punishing puzzles and atmospheric tension.

What players say

Players like the cheap price and enjoy solving puzzles from real historical prodigy games, finding them instructive and fun. The interface feels dated and the game is very short, finishable in an hour, but fans of the BOT.vinnik series appreciate it as another entry.
