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 dusty, bittersweet journey across a dying frontier world where ancient mystery and cowboy wanderlust blend into a quietly epic quest.

About
Wild Arms is a Western-themed role-playing video game developed by Japanese software company Media.Vision. Originally released in Japan in 1996 for the Sony PlayStation video game console, it was later translated and released in North America in 1997 and Europe in 1998 by Sony Computer Entertainment. It is noteworthy for not only being one of the first role-playing video games on the PlayStation, but also one of the few to feature a Western American setting and motif. The game features 2D computer graphics for normal gameplay, while battle sequences are rendered in 3D.
What players say
A distinctly 90s JRPG with a unique Wild-West-meets-fantasy world and a beloved, soaring soundtrack that sparks classic adventure. Long overshadowed by Final Fantasy VII but cherished by fans as a great RPG in its own right.
