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

MS Saga is a console-style role-playing adventure, featuring an original storyline, setting, and characters, along with fan-familiar "mobile suit" 'mechs from the G Gundam, Gundam Wing, and Mobile Suit Gundam series. Most battles are fought using mobile suits, and the game allows extensive customization of them, encouraging players to collect and use more powerful parts. The story takes place on a world emerging in the aftermath of a great war. Inhabitants must harness the power of their former enemies, but danger comes as this power begins to slip into the wrong hands.
