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

Erika are Anneliese beauties from two different worlds -- one a girl about town, the other a princess high in the land. When trouble starts in the kingdom, the two will have to solve puzzles and jump across dangers in 20 stages of adventure. Barbie as the Princess and the Pauper features two-player minigames and the ability to play as Erika, Anneliese, and even the royal cats Wolfie and Serafina!
