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

This is the fifth volume of The Idolmaster Gravure For You! series. It has a new compilation of songs: "YAYOI OrangeMIX". A new option was created to allow players the use an accessory set with one of the costumes, this being the accessories "White Cat Ears" and "White Cat Tail". This volume also introduced a new costume into the series: "765 White School Swimsuit". Additional options were introduced in this volume that would later be used in the rest of the G4U! volumes. These include using the PS3 controller's motion capabilities to control the camera (tilting the controller will move the camera), the ability to choose a photo size (Wide (as per usual), Long, or Square), black borders on or off for photos in the Long or Square shapes, a display a guide grid, which will vary depending on the photo size selected, and a Kerare Filter, which is a vignetting effect.
