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 find this a bare-bones chess game with weak AI and no challenge even on hard. The loud unadjustable music and dated graphics frustrate, and there is no online PvP or tutorials. Wins feel empty with no congratulations screen. Some split on the piece skins: a few like them, others say they blend and make pieces hard to tell apart.
