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

Theta is a puzzle solving videogame released only in Japan that features two puzzles called "Kaiten Puzzle" and "Aquarium Puzzle". In the first one the player spins the theta-shaped wheels to move the colored spheres to the right place of the same color. In the second one the player moves the colored spheres inside the right vortex to make them disappear according to the image on the upper screen, trying not to be interrupted by other spheres of different colors attracted by the vortex.
