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, real-time chess variant where you control a single knight against automated enemy pieces, demanding quick mouse movements and strategic thinking under pressure.

What players say
Players say this is a real-time chess game where you control a knight and everything moves at once, making it stressful but addictive. It throws out turn-based planning for instinct and reaction, and many call it a great warmup for bullet chess.
