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.
How it feels
A charming idol-management sim where you groom three aspiring stars for fame, balancing rivalry, romance, and career choices.

About
The objective in Tanjou Debut is to train three idols belonging to a small, struggling production company into top stars. The game introduces "rivals," a new feature that adds depth to the gameplay, which was not present in "Sotsugyou". The three heroines form a unit within the game, but depending on the outcome of the Idol Grand Prix, they might go solo, transition to acting, or even marry the manager and pursue a different path. There are nine types of parameters and lessons for each girl. If their parameters drop significantly, they may become ill or turn delinquent. The player must not only understand how to raise the correct stats but also maintain the girls’ trust in the manager to prevent them from skipping lessons.
