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.

How it feels

A whimsical historical management sim where you guide a princess through the chaos of the Three Kingdoms with lighthearted decision-making and quirky character interactions.

What players say

Players split on whether this is a satisfying adult game. Some praise the detailed character art and live2d animations, while many criticize the meager number of h-scenes and the repetitive, bland progression. The simulation side is shallow and short, with about two hours of playtime and an unsatisfying stat grind in the final year.
