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 text-heavy strategy game that feels like reading an interactive historical chronicle, combining pixel art and anime visuals with tactical decision-making.

What players say

Players agree this is a low-effort SRPG Studio asset flip, calling out the weak interface and inability to adjust resolution. The story, centered on Sima Yi, has a massive amount of text, but the turn-based strategy combat is slow and can feel clunky.
