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.

What players say

Players praise the game's historical accuracy and tactical balance, calling it a worthy successor to the classic Cao Cao's Biography. But many hate the strict turn limits and hidden objectives that force restarts, with some calling the level design frustrating. One long review deeply explores how the game's fidelity to history limits its drama, compared to beloved mods like Jiang Wei's Biography.
