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 deeply strategic and atmospheric wargame where every city development and battlefield decision feels weighty and considered.

What players say

Players call it the peak of the Three Kingdoms strategy series for its turn-based hex combat and ink-wash map, but many warn about screen flashing on Windows 10 and recommend playing with mods. Fans are split on whether the comedic event dialogue ruins the historical atmosphere.
