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

Noël La Niege Special is the third game in the Noël series for the Playstation one console. This game is the sequel to Noël La Neige and features the same 3 female characters from that game: Yumi Tachibana, Ryo Midorikawa & Chisato Kadokura. The game uses the same controls of Noël La Neige: each button is for a different thing like say yes, no or question. The gameplay is about choosing different answers or gather information to investigate in your computer network. Click on Interactive to start talking to Kaho or another girl right away. During the talk mode, there is a re-sizable data window in the middle of the screen. As your character talks with Yumi or any other character, topic icons stream across this bar, so click on them and they will be transferred to the data window.
