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

Detana!! TwinBee is a vertically scrolling shoot 'em up game following the same conventions established in the original TwinBee, where players assume the role of Light and Pastel taking control of TwinBee and WinBee across seven levels to defeat invading forces of the evil alien Iva and save planet Meru. It was later re-released on PlayStation and Saturn as part of Detana TwinBee Yahho! Deluxe Pack, PlayStation Portable as part of TwinBee Portable, and Xbox 360 and PC through Game Room service.
