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

Elf Wor is an unlicensed Sega Mega Drive game developed by Gamtec. Its true identity is unknown - whereas the ROM header lists the game's name as "Elf Wor", the title screen calls it 靈幻道士 (Spiritual Magic Priest), and Super Magician. It has also been referred to as Reigen Doushi and Revenge of Fu Manchu. The game is strikingly similar to Zombies Ate My Neighbors, though has a more eastern setting.
