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

The original Norn9 game. The game features three protagonists you can choose with three love interests for each. All characters are voiced. Within an old-fashioned town, much like the Meiji and Taisho Era, there exists a giant globe that floats in midair. This is the 'ship' called 'Norn'. The inside is set like a small town with parks, etc. The story takes place a little in the future. Guided by one particular song, young elementary kid, Suzuhara Sorata is warped through a time skip to an unfamiliar place much like the Meiji and Taisho eras from his textbooks. In this world, he meets 3 young ladies and 9 young men, and joins them on a journey aboard the mysterious 'Norn' ship in the sky.
