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

Pro Mahjong Kiwame is a four player Riichi mahjong game, unlike most one-on-one Mahjong games released at the time and the modern casual games. Players take and discard tiles until they've completed hands by forming groups and pairs.
