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

Powerstar Golf plays similar to other video game golf games although the games does offer a few unique features: Every character in the game has a unique special move that enables him or her to perform better than they normally would. The game also features a caddy system, and caddies also have unique movesets that players can use to their advantage. The game also uses an RPG-like experience points system where players can earn points to level up their characters by performing small challenges on the course. The game also has an asynchronous multiplayer mode that allows players to play against ghost versions of players on the leaderboard and players can earn additional XP if their "ghost" beats another player who challenges them.
