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.

What players say

Players love the inventive chess variants and new armies, but the game is broken: online servers are dead, there is no local multiplayer, the AI is too easy, and basic features like a settings menu, move history, and audio controls are missing.
