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

Battlefield Waltz tells the story of village girl Ran, who obtained massive power from a cursed magic sword after losing her parents and hometown. She ended up at an ultranationalistic military school known as Nirvana. It was a unique school, a country in its own right gathering boys and girls that excelled in combat.
