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

Rapala Pro Bass Fishing has you testing your fishing skills in a tournament setting against real-life professionals. Structured similarly to a televised event, the presentation includes professional announcing from In-Fisherman TV's Barry Brueland, "live" updates, leaderboards, analysis, and weigh-ins. There are over 20 tournament events in each season as you attempt to win the championship trophy. To ensure your success on some of the leading freshwater lakes in North America, you'll choose from an assortment of licensed boats, lures, rods, and apparel. In addition to the single-player season, a friend can participate in over 50 events geared specifically for multiplayer competition. You'll battle head-to-head in various timed, accuracy, weight, and location-based challenges.
