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

Fūraiki is a visual novel blending photographic backgrounds with anime-style character overlays. The player character is a travel blogger and photographer, who travels to Japan's northernmost island of Hokkaido to document his journeys for his blog. On the boat to the island, he encounters a number of young girls also traveling there, whom you will have additional opportunities to meet during the main part of the game.
