The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

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.

About

Let’s return in the times of great empires when the legendary Mongolian Emperor Chingishan conquered half of the world. Now you have the opportunity to re enact his success. Welcome to the 10th century China. The game reminds of a series of Romance of 3 Kingdoms games but the graphics are surprisingly better and the sound is really breathtaking. Koei has developed a nice game play as well.
