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

One day, the hero gets a mysterious bill. From that day on, he gets caught up in the turmoil over the resurrection of the anciently sealed demons hidden behind the eerie card game "New Youkai Den". The hero travels all over Japan to prevent the demon from resurrection. There are four game modes: "story mode", "fighting mode", "battle mode", and "trading mode". In "Battle Mode" and "Trading Mode", you can play and exchange with your friends using a communication cable. There are 298 types of cards by Shigeru Mizuki, the best youkai painter of our time!
