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.

How it feels

A gentle, low-stakes virtual life toy where you casually shape characters from your phone contacts and tinker with their little social world.

About

Mobile Tomodachi basically works by connecting a mobile phone to the PlayStation where 100 contact names and info are transfered to the console. But you can also add your own contact information manually in the game. Each contact takes a character. It's like a virtual life. In the gaming part the player can create a character, change his clothes, talk to the other people, etc.
