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.
How it feels
A narrative-driven sci-fi adventure that alternates between conversational exploration and mecha-piloting action segments.

About
A Japanese only PlayStation 2 adventure game which follows the story of the classic Gainax 1988 anime OVA. Top o Nerae! GunBuster is a video game released in Japan for the Playstation 2 on February 3, 2005. The game does not follow the events of the series, but instead tells a new story which builds on the themes of the original. The game is divided into roaming adventure scenes in which Noriko must converse with characters and collect items to advance the story, and action segments in which Noriko and Kazumi pilot the Gunbuster mecha.
