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.

About

Nordic, a natural born genius, had spent 10 years toiling away making a "mechanical doll", as a way to atone for something in his past. One day the doll gains sentience once a wandering soul resides inside it, and so begins the protagonist’s journey of experiencing what it means to live by interacting with the residents of Wingil, doing errands, battling and mini-games. There is 1 main story and 3 unique epilogues.
