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 frantic, high-stakes chess variant where you constantly battle multiple opponents on a wrapping board, forcing quick tactical thinking and adaptation.

What players say

Players love the idea of a chess battle royale, but consistently report that the game is dead, finding a match is nearly impossible, and the developer abandoned it with no updates. The timer is too short, there is no tutorial or practice mode, and many suspect opponents are bots.
