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 clever, open-ended sandbox where you tinker with chess rules and pieces, then test them against an AI or friends at a measured pace.

What players say
Players love crafting their own chess variants with custom pieces and boards, and the adjustable AI makes it fun for all skill levels. A crash loop bug tied to AI vs AI play is reported, and several players note the lack of fullscreen in vanilla, while online mode is described as broken.
