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.

"New Frontier Days ~Founding Pioneers~" is a town-building simulation game, where you command your pioneers to colonize a new land.
