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.

A grand, meticulous real-time strategy set in ancient China, focusing on tactical battles, kingdom management, and diplomatic maneuvering through a historical lens.

What players say

Players return for nostalgia, praising the classic gameplay and three-kingdoms strategy despite dated graphics, unit pathfinding bugs, and skirmish AI that gangs up on the player. Some report crashes from LVAudio and a few request a remake or update.
