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 pixel-art action puzzle where you control a knight on a chessboard, switching colors and choosing to defeat or spare enemies.

What players say
Players like the concept of real-time chess piece movement, but execution falls short. Many say spamming knight attacks is the only viable strategy, keyboard controls work better than mouse, and a gamebreaking bug halts progress around level 14. The game takes about 20 minutes to finish, which some see as too short despite the low price.
