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

Yarudora Series Vol. 3 Sampaguita is the third one in the Yarudora series originally released for PlayStation and later released for the PlayStation Portable console. It was released October 15, 1998 with PlayStation and July 28, 2005 with PlayStation Portable in Japan. While walking home in the rain from a party one night, the protagonist finds a girl sitting in the street. Homing in closer for a look, she has a cut on her head and is bleeding. Chivalry isn't dead when the player props the girl on his back and brings her home. Her name is Maria but she remembers nothing else about herself and why she was in the gutter. Features in the game include a graphics gallery, a replay function, and the ability to view various endings once they are achieved during a normal game. The game features 28 different endings (20 bad endings, 5 normal endings and 3 good endings) depending of the player choices during the game.
