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.

What players say

Players say Chezzle is a relaxing chess puzzle game where you capture all pieces on the board, transforming into each piece you take. You can jump over any piece, a twist that makes it accessible even to those new to chess. Reviews split on depth: some call it a breezy casual time, others wish it were harder.
