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
Playing Ancient Go feels like a calm, thoughtful duel of wits, with clean visuals and a gentle learning curve that rewards patient planning.

What players say
Players say the AI is too weak even at max difficulty, and the game lacks basic features like saving, replay, and resigning. Multiplayer via OGS is often broken, and some report crashes or the game being abandoned by the developer. A few beginners find it a fine introduction.
