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.

How it feels

A ghost of a game that never was — existing only as rumor and discarded alpha discs, felt more as absence than experience.

About

The third installment in the series was briefly in development and was never officially announced. In an interview with series creator Tokuro Fujiwara, it was confirmed that an early alpha version was released amongst the game's developers, but any work on the game including the alpha discs were trashed with Whoopee Camp closure in 2000.
