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

Included in the first print copies (pre-order) of Tales of Hearts R on the Vita and available with a digital release for a limited time. It's a minigame rendered in the same graphic style as Tales of Hearts – the DS version, it is a game separate from the main story with an exponentially increasing difficulty level. Yuri, Jade, Stan, and Lloyd show up as guest characters and comes with special skits.
