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

Chaos Rings is a traditional JRPG for modern Android devices. Using a classic game system that any RPG fan will enjoy, it presents an epic tale consisting of four different scenarios, all brought to you with gorgeous sound and beautiful 3D graphics. The story revolves around a tournament where combatants fight for their lives: the Ark Arena. Upon choosing a pair of characters, one male and one female, you must compete against the other partners in a test of strength and resolve. Each pair has their own story, and the real truth behind the Ark Arena will only be revealed when each story is completed in its entirety. This lends Chaos Rings a unique repeatability that is well-suited to mobile devices.
