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 slow, methodical empire-building experience where you guide an ancient Chinese civilization through careful planning, development, and warfare on a detailed map.

What players say
Players appreciate the ambitious ancient China setting and multiple victory paths, but the game is slow and its economy and mechanics are unclear. Performance is not the issue, rather, players struggle to learn systems and face constant AI city spam, and some say development stalled.
