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A deliberate, historically grounded strategy game that feels like studying a detailed historical document while making turn-based decisions.

What players say

Players are split: many praise it as a faithful expansion of Romance of Three Kingdoms 5, but a large group condemns it for requiring an internet connection to play the single-player mode and for a server shutdown announcement that left some unable to access the game.
