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.

Reimagining of the 2006 doujin title Killer Queen. 13 people are locked inside an abandoned building, none of them remember how they got there. Each has a PDA representing a playing card from A to K and a collar device locked around their necks. Each of the 13 PDAs correspond to a different set of objectives ranging from simply surviving to eliminating everyone else. If a player fails to fulfill their PDA's objective within 72 hours or breaks any of the game's rules, their collar will activate and they will die.
