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, turn-based board game where every move is a careful calculation to redirect a laser beam toward your opponent while avoiding self-destruction.

What players say

Players say this digital adaptation of laser chess/Khet adds welcome depth with its piece interactions, custom level editor, and local multiplayer. A handful warn the AI plays by slightly different rules, giving itself an advantage.
