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 strategy and management simulation set in ancient China, focused on governance and collection.

What players say
Players say the game has a solid foundation and can be addictive with its gacha-like system for generals and consorts, but is riddled with bugs that updates often worsen rather than fix. Many find the economy punishing and the diplomacy AI overly aggressive, while long-time progress can be ruined by broken research or building requirements.
