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

Jake Hunter Detective Story: Memories of the Past is not simply a remake of Jake Hunter: Detective Chronicles. The three cases in that game have been re-localized. Three new cases have been added, one of which was made exclusively for Nintendo DS. There is also a new mode in Jake Hunter Detective Story: Memories of the Past called Jake Hunter Unleashed. These are comedic stories done in a completely different style. Finally, more passwords can be found to unlock short stories and interviews with the developers.
