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

Super Mario 64 1.5 Ztar Attack! is a Super Mario 64 ROM hack made by TheGael95 and released on July 31, 2017. Containing 170 stars, it is one of the largest ROM hacks in terms of star count and the creator's biggest completed project. The hack contains all-new levels, custom graphics, objects, enemies, and music. The player begins in a grim-looking version of Peach's Castle. Most level entrances are still present, but they are explored in a different order and do not always go to equivalent areas in the original game. The game's levels are also interconnected, with many levels containing entrances to other levels in addition to their regular entrance found in Peach's Castle.
