Chess Tales

About the Game

Chess Reimagined: not as a board, but as a journey.

Navigate through a living labyrinth of puzzles, defended by Queens, Rooks, Knights and Bishops. The same familiar chess movements used in completely new and unexpected ways.

From Gardens to Waters to Cities

Your journey takes you through overgrown gardens, ruins, portals, flooded paths, collapsing caves, dangerous dungeons, and finally into the castle itself. Each area transforms familiar chess movement into something new, forcing you to think beyond the board.

Evolving Gameplay Across Terrains

Navigate forests, go through portals, sneak past sleeping guards, avoid explosive tiles and entangling vines, and survive collapsing squares that punish careless moves.

Twist the Rules of Chess

Classic chess movement meets unexpected twists.

Teleport through portals,

and blast enemy pieces with bombs.

And that’s just the start - from shifting tiles to unpredictable environmental interactions, each level builds on what you’ve learned and keeps you thinking in new ways.

Plan Ahead, Outsmart the Enemy

Enemies patrol in predictable, cyclical patterns, allowing those who think ahead to turn danger into opportunity. Learn each enemy’s unique routes to outsmart them and break through their defenses.

Checkmate: Face the King

At the end of your journey lies the Throne Room.

Face the King in a final, decisive battle in multiple phases and shatter his rule once and for all.

This is not a game of chess.

This is a quest.
