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

Otomate-developed visual novel for the PlayStation Portable based on the turn-based RPG Atelier series by Gust. The limited edition of Elkrone no Atelier: Dear for Otomate comes with an audio drama CD and an exclusive artbook. Meriela (a.k.a Meri) has inherited her grandmother's workshop, and now it's up to her to decide what to do with it. One day, a fairy called Popotto pops up at the front door, asking her to create a mysterious item—the Blue Wakaka. Neither the client nor the alchemist have ever seen it, but since the fairy is in no great hurry, he decides to lodge with Meri to help her out with item synthesis, ingredient collection, monster fights and finding her soul mate.
