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

"Fire Emblem: Legends of Avenir is an incredibly distinct ROM hack that uses elements not utilized by the core series until later entries in the franchise such as Fire Emblem: Awakening. Most notably, prior to beginning the first chapter, a player is able to create their protagonist, choosing not just their gender and class, but also their background, altering the course of the game's story! Additionally, as this hack is filled with decisions for the player to make, the game features several route splits that greatly impact the trajectory of a player's experience, truly making your choices matter." - Paul DiSalvo
