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

Sanrio Carnival plays in the style of Columns and Dr. Mario, but features Hello Kitty and her friends. The player must match block objects of the same type in a horizontal or vertical row of three, four of five. The menu allows the player three different single-player styles of game which determines what goal must be met as well as options to choose a music track and theme of the blocks. There is also a two-player versus mode available.
