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

Fire Emblem is a tactics RPG that has been described as "anime chess". This hack turns FE8 into a Pokémon game. Re-live your journey through Kanto in this reimagining of Pokémon. Battle with your whole party at once, and devise strategies to take down the toughest foes. Catch and evolve the original 151 Pokémon as you train up your favorites. Enjoy balanced gameplay where grinding has little effect and swapping out team members may be the key if you’re struggling. You play your way in this fun, fast-paced game.
