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

The Game Boy Advance port of Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars is pretty much the same game as the original, the only difference is that the graphics were adapted to fit the technical constraints of the console.
