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

Familiar pieces force you to think on your feet with ever-changing rules, making every match a crisp mental puzzle.

What players say

Players praise the huge variety of chess variants and the ability to create custom pieces, boards, and rules. But many also report a buggy, crashing experience, no sound at all, weak AI, and an interface that feels unpolished for the price.
