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
You feel like you're physically standing inside a living chessboard, leaning in to inspect the pieces and pulling back to consider your next move with calm deliberation.

What players say
Players enjoy the VR battle-chess concept but wish it had multiplayer. The fantasy pieces and animations are fun, though some prefer standard chess visuals. The AI has no adjustable difficulty, making it too hard for beginners and too easy for experts. Camera movement is slow and lacks teleport, and the small set of challenge puzzles are unguided.
