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 a balanced look at Park Chung-hee, letting them steer history without glorifying or demonizing him. They enjoy the economic depth and many endings but find the tutorial poor, the UI clunky, and the Chinese localization rough. Some bug or translation complaints persist, yet most recommend it.
