Zugzwang
About this game

The King is cornered; the pieces set. You remember telling him: In Zugzwang, there are no good moves—there's only destiny.
Play as a murderer, a wanna-be hero, a terrible lover, a boy that chases myth the way dogs chase their own tails. Just remember: you cannot save him, it is too late, and checkmate is all but on the board.
FEATURES.
