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

Self-Defense Training Camp involves teaching players how to perform martial arts-based techniques and various forms of tai chi, along with self defense. There are four selectable game modes on the main menu: "Cardio Workout", "Balance Practices", "Self Defense Rehearsal", and "Reflex Training". In "Cardio Workout", players perform "martial arts fitness workouts", such as punches and kicks. "Balance Practices" involves doing yoga-style stretches. In "Self Defense Rehearsal", there are five sessions consisting of six activities for players to play, which simply involve performing a move such as kicking an opponent's crotch. "Reflex Training" involves dodging from opposing punches.
