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

A methodical, chess-like duel where every move and attack phase demands careful positioning and foresight.

What players say

Players enjoy the tactical twist on chess where pieces have special abilities and attacks deal damage instead of instant kills. Newcomers wish the tutorial were accessible in-game, and some report trouble finding matches and connecting to servers.
