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

Before Awakening is a free DLC map for Fire Emblem Fates. It features a crossover battle where the player teams up with Chrom, Lissa, and Frederick—main characters from Fire Emblem Awakening. The map becomes available early in the game and offers unique dialogue depending on whether you're playing Birthright, Conquest, or Revelation. Completing the map rewards the player with a Breath of Life 1 skill scroll, which can be used to grant a healing aura ability to any unit.
