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 historical strategy game where you inhabit any officer's role, managing resources and relationships across a broad, replayable campaign.

What players say

Players praise the gameplay as a classic, but the port has severe issues: Chinese and Japanese text garbles on modern systems, fullscreen mode crashes, and the Yellow Turban Rebellion scenario is missing from the expansion.
