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

From master video game developer Vanillaware comes Muramasa Rebirth, an action RPG that blends the vibrant and beautiful world of Japanese mythology and high flying, fast-paced action! Enter a world where demon, samurai and other deadly enemies vie to destroy you as you search for the fabled Demon Blades. Become the possessed princess Momohime, as you travel West, or the fugitive ninja Kisuke, as you travel East, through mythical Japan battling anyone who stands in your way. Forge and collect 108 blades, each with its own devastating secret art, but beware these Demon Blades are hungry for the souls of the vanquished and legend foretells that tragedy befalls those who dare to use them. With stunning high-res graphics, two beautifully told storylines, multi-modes of play and much more, Muramasa Rebirth brings the very best entertainment to the PlayStationVita handheld entertainment system!
