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.

A relaxed, turn-based chess variant with new pieces and optional modes, offering a cute and customizable experience for casual strategy fans.

What players say

Players say the AI is weak and the extra modes are not very entertaining. The game has bugs, including AI moves that break chess rules, and the multiplayer lobby is empty. Still, it is free and offers a customizable chess experience.
