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 calm but sharp turn-based duel where you slide pieces into alternating patterns, feeling like a meditative chess match.

What players say

Players describe Harmony as an easy-to-learn strategy game that mixes elements of chess and checkers. The computer opponent draws criticism for being too weak, making the game best enjoyed against real people. The minimalist presentation and relaxed pace make it a good quick-play board game.
