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.

A charming, character-driven classic JRPG that fans feel is overlooked amid the PS1's crowded library, with engaging turn-based combat undercut by slow pacing, frequent random encounters, and sudden difficulty spikes.
