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

UFO: A Day in the Life is a quirky puzzle adventure developed by Love-de-Lic and released by ASCII Entertainment in 1999. Explore an apartment building to rescue 50 invisible aliens stranded on Earth after a crash. Now being brought back by Hamster Corporation under the Console Archives label for modern platforms, it includes quality-of-life options such as customizable button layouts, rapid-fire settings, multiple save points, and screen filters that recreate the nostalgic feel of CRT TVs.
