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 gentle, low-stakes puzzle game where you fit chess-shaped pieces together to reveal a simple western tale.

What players say
Players are split on this short wild-west jigsaw game. Some praise the challenge of chess-shaped pieces and the no-preview option, while others report save corruption, pieces snapping together wrong, and a grating soundtrack. Some label it an asset flip, others enjoy the themed puzzles from the Chess Knights series.
