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

Dragon Quest Monsters: Caravan Heart acts as a prequel to Dragon Quest 7 and was never released outside of Japan but there is a fan-translation patch. You play Kiefer from Dragon Quest VII who ends up in the world of Dragon Quest II. You can use a group of 3 people or monsters to fight but enemies can show up in larger numbers. There is a job system for human characters with 20 classes.
