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

Embark on a journey after you get turned into a Pokémon as a result of a freak accident, causing you to lose your memory as well as contact with and knowledge of your previous adventuring partner, with whom you were on a secret mission to save the world. Watch your story unfold in a dungeon crawling rogue-lite experience as you form your very own rescue team with a new partner of your choosing.
