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 barebones digital implementation of Chinese Chess with rudimentary AI and multiplayer, feeling unfinished and lonely.

What players say
Players are split and disappointed. Many say the game was abandoned in early access with no updates since 2019, lacking multiplayer and bug fixes. Some appreciate the 3D graphics and five AI engines with distinct play styles, but others find the AI broken and the interface only in Chinese. The developer is seen as unresponsive.
