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

Pokémon Dark Energy is an RPG game that is implemented as a rom hack on top of Pokemon Silver. The gameplay concentrates on development of the story rather than your usual Pokemon adventure where you travel from town to town collecting badges, and eventually, challenge the Elite Four.
