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 slow, deliberate strategy game where each move carries abstract symbolic weight, feeling more like navigating a moral and political allegory than a typical chess match.

What players say
Players say the game has almost nothing to do with standard chess, blending it with Chinese chess instead. The rules feel confusing at first and capturing a piece is a notable challenge that can take around 15 minutes. Some find it relaxing, others frustrating.
