About the game

Guide chess pieces through handcrafted boards where movement is a tool for infiltration rather than traditional checkmate. Read enemy patrols, avoid capture, collect fragments, and look for a cleaner escape. Turn-based puzzles and live-movement challenges test your planning and timing.
