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

Wizard’s Harmony is an adventure and training simulation game set in a fantasy world of swords and magic. Rather than science, swords and sorcery flourish in this world. Our story takes place at the school of "Skill & Wisdom," founded for youngsters who long for adventure. The hero of our story, "Rufus Craoun" (you), is an active young man who participates in club activities at the Wizard Academy. But this Wizard Academy is suffering from a major problem... The former head master carried out a number of misdeeds, and you're the only member of faculty. You've got to hire more faculty members to keep the academy going, but also make sure to pass the exams presented three times a year! Study and go on adventures with faculty members on the weekdays! Even enjoy school life with a charming member of staff from time to time! Think you can keep the academy up and running? Give it your best shot!
