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 fast, tactical hack-and-slash where you move like chess pieces through procedurally generated mazes, balancing real-time combat with strategic positioning.

What players say
Players enjoy the clever combination of chess movement and real-time hack-and-slash, calling it consistently challenging rather than unfair. Some finish in under two hours and note there is no reason to replay once completed.
