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

The game is based around the daily life of a character doing odd jobs for people throughout the town to earn money and pay back a huge debt. The game is played on the bottom screen using the Nintendo DS stylus to control the characters and finish the mini-game style jobs. The top screen shows the character portrait and dialogue of the people you talk to.
