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

Sonic the Hedgehog: Proto-Mix is a ROM modification for the 2013 mobile/RSDK version of Sonic the Hedgehog. The hack is defined by its objective to "mix" the high-speed gameplay of the final 1991 release with rare, scrapped elements found in early prototype builds and magazine scans.
