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

A quiet, moonless night. Tsukishiro Michiru has a dream of being lost inside a mysterious old castle. She meets with five jewels that had taken the form of attractive men. She is ordered by the castle's master. "Choose the jewel you think suits you the best by the night of the next full moon" However, the jewels only have exceedingly harsh personalities that would be called "cruel", "beastly", "sadistic", "scheming", or "yandere"! As though being guided by something, in the real world she then meets five men that look the same as the jewels she met in the dream world.
