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 Super Famicom remake of the Sega Mega Drive game, Langrisser II. Along with reworked graphics, this version of the game added branching paths and multiple endings with the option to choose from 3 factions or to create your own 4th faction. There are less class upgrade paths for units and mercenary groups can't be used in the same way as the original.
