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

Taxi Rider is a game about driving a taxi and getting customers to their destination in time, similar to the arcade concept of SEGA's Crazy Taxi series. The player is employed by a local taxi firm set in the fictional Nijiiro, as well as the adjoining areas such as the residential Dream Hills, the Coast Amusement Center and Dragon Peak.
