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 Heroes is a firefighting game set in Clayton Tower, a new, nearly complete 30 story sky scraper that houses a shopping mall on its bottom floors. A fire breaks out in the tower as the tower's owners and clients hold a Christmas party. Your goal is to find and rescue victims of the fire. You play as three characters. Douglass Brantly is a 31-year-old fire fighter with the SA-City fire department. He's fought fires for 15 years and is represented by the key word "Brave." Max Broderick is a 28-year-old agent with the S.A.P.D. police force. He's represented by the keyword "Justice." Finally, there's Scott Winkler, a 27-year-old architect who designed Clayton Tower. Scott is represented by the keyword "Love." Each characters has different abilities. For example, one has a pistol while the other has a full set of fire-fighting equipment, complete with a fire hose. This adventure will test the decision-making ability of the player to the limit, it’s going to be a tough task to succeed against all odds!
