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

A tile matching puzzle game for the Super Famicom, the first in the Puzzle League series. It was later modified to feature Yoshi and Mario related characters to be released in the western regions, under the name of "Tetris Attack". It was also a downloadable game for the Satellaview that was broadcast in at least 4 runs between November 19, 1995 and January 31, 1998. Although the game was Japan exclusive, it did eventually see releases in the rest of the world in 2020 as part of the Nintendo Switch Online lineup.
