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

Through the excesses of science, a “black sun” was created, leading to energy shortages. The world faced a certain doom. After tremendous effort, scientists discovered a chance to save their world by acquiring an unknown energy source in another world beyond the “gate." The mission to research the new world fell to a young scientist named Frain, in Schutzheim. He threw his body into the “gate” alone. The other world was filled with nature and mystery, things he had never seen. But what really awaited him was treachery and betrayal, by his own world. People were trampled by machine soldiers, chasers were everywhere, and monsters stood in every avenue of escape… Despite these hardships, though, he found new companions who trusted and supported him. Another-world adventure fantasy RPG on an overwhelming scale!
