Overview
A 3D chess game in a dark galaxy where Rook, a live coach, teaches total beginners while they play. Every square is coloured by how safe it is, mistakes get caught before you make them, and 21 skills unlock as they come up in real games. Its own chess engine, no dependencies, and a soundtrack synthesized live.
