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 calm and meditative chess experience with gentle guidance, serene environments, and a focus on thoughtful, personal growth.

What players say

Players are split on the visuals and are sharply divided on the game's worth. Many report the game is a resource hog that causes crashes on modern PCs, while a few others praise the eye candy. A consistent complaint is that players cannot find human opponents online and that the classic Staunton chess set must be unlocked through hours of play.
