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 call it a monetized take on Romance of the Three Kingdoms, with a mandatory online connection and pricey paid scenarios, generals, and custom content atop a full-price game. Some find it addictive despite flaws, but many warn the rising costs and lack of free updates signal the developer is squeezing players.
