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

Story Hour is a collection of “interactive storybooks” – classic public domain children’s stories retold and recreated on the Nintendo Wii. In the same way a parent will sit with their child and read any number of classic fairy tale books, members of a family can sit in front of their television and read traditional fantasy tales with their child in an updated interactive format. At once a simple, casual game and a parent-led storytelling experience, Story Hour: Fairy Tales is beautiful, educational and fun for parents and children alike.
