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 gentle, methodical city-building experience focused on fostering prosperity and managing crises in a historically inspired ancient Chinese setting.

What players say
Players praise the Song Dynasty setting and relaxing atmosphere but split on longevity. Many say the story mode is fun, then the game becomes repetitive. Some warn the tutorial teaches outdated mechanics after a big update, and a few report development has stalled with no new content.
